We've Sent the Dossier and Could Use Prayer Coverage

On Sunday, I emailed Kidslink and told Jill that I was only waiting for the home study to be done and Ray's passport to arrive in the mail. I asked her if she wanted me to send the (all important) dossier now or when the last things were done. The homestudy will not be complete until at least October 28 (that is three months to the day since it started and that is BC legislation).

My thoughts on sending the incomplete dossier now, was that if there were any discrepancies Jill would pick up on them and I would have the next two months to fix them. This would be better than waiting til the end of October when the home study is ready and *then* finding out I had more work to do. That would only set me back timewise. And you all, *know* how I *love* to be on top of things!!

Jill agreed that sending it now was a good idea, and I loved her response to me telling her I wanted to be 'ahead of the game':

"Hahaha! I can understand that completely! I will let you know right away!"

So I mailed off the dossier - after the kids and I prayed over it.

Dossier Signed, Sealed and Prayed Over

So now that the dossier has been sent to Kidslink and the questionnaires have gone to Hope Services, we are now at the point where we just have to wait. By Friday our questionnaire and cheque will be at Hope Services and then they will contact a social worker, who will contact us for our first homestudy meeting. We are now at the bend in the road. It continues getting more exciting from here!

I would ask that you *please* pray that everything in our dossier - *especially* financial is *just wonderful*! At this point the dossier has gone to Kidslink and they are the ones (at this point in the road) who will approve what they see in there. They will be reading our medicals, financials, and references. I know our references shine and though they only asked for two references, I sent more. *grin* I figured it couldn't hurt!

But, because we are self employed and have a large family, our finances could be questionable. Also, we took 6 weeks to take a road trip to Tennessee, and also didn't run the company to potential for a number of months last year, as we were building our new house. This all brought our income down for the year and that won't look great to them.

So these are all reasons for good prayer coverage! Thanks so much, in advance!
