Home study process

Sorry for the lack of blogging. Teaching again really drains me. I have no energy. Haha. Anyway, so here is an update. Chris and I both have done our interviews, test, etc. and now we have our final home study/couple interview tomorrow. I am taking a personal day so I will have the whole day off tomorrow! Yay! After this we will be on the list for birth moms to look at our profile! Yay! Please pray that God has a great woman out there ready to choose us! :) We are limited on what we can share with this process, but I promise soon we will be able to share lots of pictures etc. Just pray this is a fast and smooth process. I know God has a wonderful plan for our lives and a child perfect for us!

Sneak Peek Pictures

I hope you enjoy looking at a few photos from our photo shoot! We can't wait till we get them all! Jennifer Klotz photography did an amazing job! So happy with our photos and so glad she captured such an important part of this journey to adoption!

Adoption pictures

My sweet friend Emily made Chris and I a banner that says We're Adopting! My other sweet friend Julianne made the Growing in our Hearts board. I made the other one. I am so excited for our pictures!

Home study update

Yesterday I went to my doctor appointment. It went well and I really really really liked the doctor that Chris and I both saw. He shared his infertility and adoption story with me. It was nice having someone know the real pain of infertility and failed cycles. He said I know you've been through a lot and I hope your adoption journey is amazing as my wife's and mine. 
We also have set up our individual interviews for next month. October will be a busy month for us! :) 
I also have a sweet friend who was picked by a birth mom! I am so excited for her! She is a friend I met through this journey of infertility...and I am so blessed by her friendship and I can't wait to go to her baby shower!!

Great Are You Lord!

Love love this song! Sang Great Are you Lord at church today and it really touched my heart today! I had to share! No matter the struggle in life God is always by our side...even in the times where we try to push him away because we are angry.

Adoption

We submitted our home study paper work on Friday. The adoption class is on October 10th. It will be about 8 weeks before our background checks come back. We are doing pictures later in the month of September. They will set up our interviews soon for our home study.
