Small Excitements Carry Me Through

Oh! Things are so exciting! Little things please me right now!! I just called our adoption agency and asked if they had received our last reference (cause our pastor only just received his reference questionnaire on Monday, due to misdirected mail) and they had! They also had our questionnaires and cheque!! OH!!! Now the wait is officially on!!!

And I asked the director (the big guy who signs the approval!) if we could double up on our social worker appointments. We don't live in a big centre so we have to go 2 hours to our closest social worker. I thought the local one would do it, but apparently they have contracts with different social workers. Anyway, it would mean 5 trips - driving two hours each way - time off work for Ray and daycare for kids. Lorne said we can double up appointments! This will also get us through the homestudy quicker!! YEAH!!

Small things....

Every so often I have to remind myself that this is really happening!!! I can't believe we are doing this!!! And then also, I have to remind myself to have faith. A friend of mine is going through a devastating, trying time right now. They have hit a problem and her adoption in Haiti (such a tough place to adopt from!) may not be able to go through. Her family's hearts have been wrapped up in their girls for five months now! They have even met them a few times. But I am going to have faith for her and BELIEVE that God will work a miracle for them!!!
