Confirmation

This time the US Postal Service delivered really fast! Dennis called us tonight to let us know that he got our packet ~ we just mailed it yesterday. He wanted to let us know that everything looked great. See...there was no need for me to be worried about how we answered the questions or what someone might think! We really do worry too much about things.

Dennis confirmed that we're on the fast track and that once our training is completed at the end of this month, we will be assigned a case worker and things should move very quickly then.

Michael & I just looked at each other and said - we could be parents by the end of the summer! What?! Remember when I said in an earlier post that things seem to go by really slowly and then at times very quickly...this would be one of those "quick" times.

It's very hard to plan. When you're pregnant, you have a good estimation of when you will bring your child home. In our case, we don't know whether it will be one child or two; what age they will be; if they'll be boys or girls, or one of each; and we have no idea of when we would get the call to let us know we've been chosen. How do you prepare? There really is no way. Do we buy a crib, a toddler bed or one of each? Do we have them share a room or do we make a room for each? So many many questions. This is definitely going to be one of those times of truly trusting in the Lord to give us direction and peace in the midst of chaos and the unknown. We know that it will all work out in His timing and in His way, but the OCD/organizational/planner in me, freaks out!

We're excited, nervous, anxious, happy and praising God for all His blessings along this journey!
