Hi, all! We FINALLY, after months of obtaining various documents, have our home visit scheduled!! Will be next Friday, May 4th(can you believe it's almost May already!?) and we are hoping to have only one visit. Oh, sweet joy, I can TASTE the progress!!! We are still waiting for 1 document, a CPS background check from Tunesia. But, since this is our ONLY hold-up, they agreed to let us go ahead with the home visits. OK, time to start cleaning this house!!!!
This also means that we have to really decide on our referral parameters, since this has to be included in the homestudy write-up. We definately know that we want a young infant with minimal to no special needs, as we feel that this would fit in best with our family and lifestyle. We also could chose whether we wanted a boy or girl. This has been a bit difficult to decide. We both would like a girl to balance out our family(me more than Kevin!), but in the end we have decided that we will not specify one or the other gender. We feel that this takes away from a big part of why we are adopting, as God has called us to take this journey for HIM. We feel that if we were open to only one gender or the other, we would be closing an opportunity that God may have for us. God already has our little one chosen, in His design. We want to keep this adoption all in His name, His design, His guidance....So we will continue to be obedient, and let Him guide us. I would love a girl, but couldn't imagine my life without our little boy, so either will be more blessings than we could count. Instead, we will pray for healthy and happy.
Thank you all for your continued prayers. We are so blessed!!
