Loving the Process!
One of THE best things about adoption is the process.
So many people ask when we're adopting. The answer is so much more than providing a date or certain amount of months, because we honestly have no idea. We don't know when the paperwork will end, when we get put on the next waiting list, when we will get a call, when we will then have to fill out more paperwork or when we will leave to go and get our little boy.
But, OH THE PROCESS! I love it (so far). While we have had the pleasure to meet so many families that are adopting or have adopted... there are 2 families that we are currently walking through this process with. And we look forward to raising our own adoptive children with theirs!
This week has been super exciting... today in the mail we got our "Ours to Love" t-shirts from the Graham's, who are also adopting from Uganda. I love knowing that April & Luke are just ahead of us in the process because now I have a go-to girl that I can text all my silly questions to and she has all the answers. Love it (and the shirts).
And then there is the Pazzaglia's who are IN CHINA NOW!!! I have been overwhelmed this week with joy for this family. Hearing Kelly's voice and listening to the anticipation of a long awaited trip to China to get Bella Mei. I've been overwhelmed at all the many pictures I see of Tony & her holding Bella Mei in their arms.
What's so awesome about the process??? The families we meet, the love we share for these kiddos, the love that God shows towards us as we walk by faith. Oh there is so much to love about this process (paperwork and all).

just a quick update
Met with a sweet lady today from our agency. Plans are to begin paperwork in January! Very excited to start the next phase of our adoption! Keep you all posted.
Today began what I guess will just be the beginning of paperwork and fees. Name changed on Driver's License (check)! And next will be updating my passport.
Then, what could be our last Christmas without a little one!!!
MERRY CHRISTMAS EVERYONE!
