A Giant Checklist

Well this past Saturday, we went to our first class for the adoption process. We were handed a very long, detailed checklist, a bunch of forms and a binder with tons of reading material and homework to do! We were told that some people are deterred from adoption just by the sheer amount of paperwork that must be gathered and footwork to be done. We will all need to schedule a physical and get a TB test and Wes and I will have to also do a drug test. We have to get all the pets a rabies shot and make lots of copies of important documents. I am trying to get as much done now as I can. I know it will take some time to gather some of the things but the more I can get knocked out now the better!

We also shared with our church family our desire to adopt and asked for prayer as we begin this journey. We will be needing lots of prayers all throughout this process I am sure. We are already praying for the child or children who will one day be ours. Our kids are excited too. Especially Emily. She has desired a sister for a long time. So we hopefully will be able to adopt a little sister and possibly more siblings if its the Lord's will.

Well keeping this one short and sweet. Will try to update more regularly. Thanks in advance for any and all prayers you can lift up on our behalf.
