Immigration

Today we started the immigration process.  Step 1 anyway.  We are still, at least, a month from finishing our home study but that too will come to an end.  Then the more challenging part  of the adoption process will begin.  I  pray that we continue to heed the call of God and that he shows us His Mercy along the way.

Welcome News!

Today I phoned the adoption agency and it seems that though we are not home study ready, we can still apply to immigration.  As we intend to adopt from Ghana, we may begin the process. This is welcome news as I was feeling so much like things were lagging and that there was nothing I could do to move forward.  But now onward we go!

Third Visit

We survived the third visit which was talking about our childhood.  Actually, my childhood was wonderful so it was really nothing.  The only disappointing thing about it all was that we still have three more interviews.  I THOUGHT we only had ONE left.  It really is an agonizing process.  We are three months into the process, half way, and who knows how long it will take to get three more interviews.  It is really discouraging.  I know, at least, in some states in the US, they only have to do about half the interviews we have to do. What remains is talking about parenting, our marriage, and adoption.
