Home Study Update

So at this point in the process we have to do a home study update.  Not only has it been about a year since we finished our home study, but we have also added another kid to our clan (Mary Clair!!).

Here she is, the newest addition,  in all her glory!

In the next couple weeks we will meet up with our case worker.  She will come to our home and kind of do a re-check on how things are going and meet our sweet baby girl.

Honestly, it has been a little hard for me to get back in the groove of the adoption process and mindset.  Lately it's been survival mode and learning how to parent two kids.  (Prayers would be appreciated on that note...)  Now that we are two months out from Mary Clair's birth, it's time to hunker down and get the ball rolling again!  As far as receiving referrals, we are still on a long waiting list and we are also in our 6 month "time out" period after having a baby (but we still move up on the list, thank the Lord!).  We need to get this home study updated so we can also get back to applying for grants.  Hopefully we won't be waiting around too long for an update!  (More future posts to come on grant stuff...)

Signing off for now......

 So then, just as you received Christ Jesus as Lord, 

continue to live your lives in him,  

rooted and built up in him, 

strengthened in the faith as you were taught, 

and overflowing with thankfulness.

Colossians 2:6-7
