To share that we are starting the Home study process for adoption.(ahhhh=) I wanted to blog about it! So that we have an outlet to share how we feel through this process and also so that we can look back and see how it all started. So i should start at the very beginning......
Eli and I had went to an information meet in Albany with
New Hope Family Services in Nov. We went and enjoyed the meeting and felt this is the place we should work with. They had opened the meeting up praying and reading from the Word. I felt how cool that was and God was so present at that meeting. We gathered a lot of info and were also told that we wouldn't most likely be able to start the home study process until march. I was bummed but knew God knew best and hadn't given it a second though. i knew it would start when it started...
Well in the beginning of December we received an invitation to start the home study process and we were so thrilled until we looked at the date and it was during our Florida vacation that we have had planned for months and months. we were shocked and feeling why God would have it when we couldn't be there..I was thinking we would have to wait till this home study finished and then we would be invited again. I decided to call them and they were so kind and said we would work it out so that we would be able to start in Jan. There are many other couple going through the same process as us and they all agreed to start in Jan. I was in shock and humbled that they would all do that for us. So here we are now...Going to Syracuse for a day filled with classes and meetings on monday (Jan.9th) and we're so so so excited to start this journey and so so so anxious and nervous. This is going to be an amazing, hard and truly unbelievable journey. Its going to test our marriage,and how we live. And I hope that you all who read this will start praying for us. Just the paper work and questions going into this first meeting has been since a blessing getting to know Eli even more then i thought was possible. I pray that this continues to be a joy!
