Where you will find CC....

Good news...

We just received word that our homestudy/addendum has been approved by Homes4Good and is being sent off to the State Department today. We should hopefully be in the system and FINALLY be official by the end of the week! This means that our name and profile will be viewable by all agencies, as well as allow our agency to present us for any cases that come their way.

I have been rather blah today ~ it was more than just the Monday blues ~ so to come home and find this email waiting for me, was just what I needed...what we needed. Thank you, Lord, for your many blessings! Thank you for how you sweetly remind us that You are in control, that You are working and that You already know the timing of bringing our kiddos home.

Still waiting....

I just called our caseworker to see where we were on getting our addendum signed off and to the state. She said that she passed it on for final review on Monday and it's out of her hands right now. It's still being reviewed.

I know that we're not the only family with the agency, but it is still frustrating to be waiting on something that, in my opinion, should have been done a long time ago. BUT, I also know that God's timing is perfect, and as frustrated as we might be, I know that these hiccups and hangups are all for a reason and with the full picture in view....maybe not to us, but to our God.

I am thankful for a God who delights in impossibilities and who asks, "Is anything too hard for me?" (Jeremiah 32:27)

Just a few more questions....

....well, of course, there would be more questions. Story of our lives :)


Our caseworker informed us that there were just a few more questions that she needed further answers on to sign off on our homestudy addendum. These were questions that have been asked more than once, so at least it wasn't difficult to answer. But because of this, it is frustrating. I guess it's nice to know that there weren't any new questions...I can't even imagine what else they could ask us.

Questions were answered over the phone and the CW indicated that she would turn everything over for final review on Monday. Hopefully it won't take long for the review, since the reviewer is the one who asked the specific questions.

We'll keep you posted!
