Well, things have been a little bit crazy in the house. With two kids starting school, helping with homework, extracurricular activities, all mixed with work, work, work, we have unfortunately not been able to record a new episode. We do however, want to keep all of our listeners up to date as to our process and how things are going.
We have sent our homestudy off to CIS and are now simply awaiting the letter giving us approval and setting up dates to be fingerprinted. My thoughts are, "Hey, didn't we do all of this with the first two adoptions. It's not like our fingerprints have magically changed". Well, the U.S. government didn't see quite the same humor in it as I did and simply stated, "Yes, you have to be fingerprinted again." So hopefully soon we will be on our way to get inky fingers. (You don't get inky fingers anymore, it's all done electronically now. Another little worry to mark off of your list.)
Not sure what our next episode will be about but I'm thinking packing for China, or maybe talking about some of the highlights of Beijing. Kim is wanting to do a show on paperwork, but I'm not sure what paperwork we can talk about for more than fifteen minutes. I'm hoping we can record within the next week or two, so be on the lookout and find out what decision we made.
Until then, if you're in the middle of the process or just starting out, remember your child is waiting for you and you two will meet in God's time not yours. So until then keep nesting, praying, and learning all you can about your new child's birth country.
Counting down to our Forever Family Day
