News

Okay, so we have some new news now!

Our dossier was just reviewed yesterday at Mission of Tears and our contact there said that all our documents are there, which is great! We do have a couple of things that need to be fixed a bit in our home study before it can officially be sent off, but it's better to catch those things now rather than later.

We were hoping that our file would be sent immediately to S.A., but we found out that the social worker there has an adequate amount of files right now so ours won't be sent for a few weeks. There is a small possibility that it could be sooner, but for now we're kind of waiting. We know our file is in capable hands.

With the ups and downs we've already felt through this process and with the nerves of making sure we have everything "right", we can only sit back and be comforted in knowing that our incredible God is orchestrating everything. I don't know what I would do without Him! I have sanity and patience through all of this because I know that our baby will eventually be with us. Some days I can hardly think about it because my excitement drives me crazy! Ian said to me the other night that he's just ready for all the adventure to start of travelling to meet our baby, being in Africa and bringing he/she home. I agree!

One thing we're looking forward to is getting together with some families who have/will be adopting from S.A. We're meeting for lunch this coming weekend. It's great to have that support!

Anyway, just keep praying that our home study gets all the last few bumps smoothed out and praise God that our dossier is getting through the final checks on the Canadian side. I'll keep you posted as to when it gets sent to S.A.!
