Done!

I can jump for joy like Colton......>

We finally finished all our paperwork for the adoption agency. Whew! It was certainly a ton of stuff to do! It ain't cheap either mind you. It was all very time consuming as you can tell, it has been since April since I posted. I have concentrated on almost nothing else in my free time besides getting more paperwork checked off my list! Well a little quilting here and there for stress relief but still mostly devoted to this project. I especially dreaded reading books that were mandatory reading which I completely (for the most part) didn't agree with. Most of which was books on worldly humanistic secular psychology....blech! I have also been quite disappointed in our so called "christian" adoption agency. They have to teach some certain things as the state requires but they have much freedom in teaching other things from a Christian worldview. Especially the parenting classes. Wes intends to write a letter to the agency suggesting several resources that would be much more beneficial to the parents taking classes to learn Biblical parenting techniques. Many books and biblical counseling resources could be so much better utilized in equipping parents to raise children in a God centered home. We are praying for reform in the adoption system as a whole. So much of it is geared to telling these children that they are victims and will forever remain victims of their past and it is easy to see how they go from foster care system to welfare system. Our society needs major reform! Well I am grateful to be done with the paperwork. We are attending one last class tomorrow. It wasn't mandatory buy highly encouraged so we are going. We are waiting for them to schedule our home study and then we wait for a match. We are all getting excited but I also have some fears. I know Satan likes to plant seeds of doubt so I will do my best to remember that God is in control! I will post more on my state of mind in another post soon. For now I am Trusting, Trusting, Jesus my Savior in Thee!
