And The Waiting Begins...

Well, we have some exciting news! Our dossier was mailed to S.A. yesterday and should be there by Tuesday!!! This is SO awesome for us! At the beginning of the week we got in touch with our agency and they said that it should be mailed in a couple of days. I wasn't holding my breath, but was hoping that it would at least be Friday...and it was!

So now, all we can really do is wait. The social worker in S.A. will get our dossier and we can start to be considered as adoptive parents when she has a child that can be adopted. Our agency said that a referral could happen at any time. They also said that the social worker is working hard at getting through files in the next couple of months, so that could be good news for us! It's really hard not to get our hopes up that a referral will happen soon but I'm also trying to be realistic because it could be 12 months.

I am looking forward to this part of the journey because there's nothing more for us to do. I'm trusting that at the right time, God will place the right child in our family and that will be a great day! For now we continue to prepare...reading, buying luggage for the trip, getting baby stuff, getting immunized, picking names and just enjoying the time we have together.

Thanks for reading and praying for us through this. We really appreciate all the support we've had from family and friends. It means a lot!

Have a great day!!
