What does this mean? This means that tomorrow morning we will receive another email from the agency with our Agency Application, Contract & Home Study info. This process (I believe) typically takes around 30-60 days, which will depend on us and how fast we get to filling out the paperwork.
After ALL our paperwork is sent off, then we are placed on a waiting list. At this point we wait, again. YAY! This waiting period could be anywhere from 2 months - 7 or 8 months. If I've done my math correctly, that's a 2013 adoption.
So enough about the details (who really cares about them anyways)... lets talk some God Stuff. God Stuff is when something happens that only God could have done. It's cool, it's neat, it's awesome, it's fun. It's God Stuff. And it's exactly not Human Stuff.
We know that God has had His hand in this process since the very beginning. We know that His timing is Always PERFECT. And in a few weeks, I'll probably be sharing some of the exact events that have taken place in my life & in our families life in regards to work and ministry. But for now, let's just say, this has all been God Stuff happening and He gets ALL the credit & glory & praise for the great news today.
ready.to.go.
Yay! We did the first whole bunch of our paperwork in one day and then made sure our social worker understood that we were ready for the home study..."are you available tomorrow?" :) it's so exciting! Paper pregnant is such a great term...especially bc that paper pile grows and grows as you wait!
