Our homestudy is almost complete...

Well, we did indeed have our last appointment for our homestudy last Wednesday at our house. Kris came right after lunch and it only took a short time. She spoke with Amber and Tia, then Kelli after he arrived from class. He was running about 1/2 hr late (grrrr) so I was worried she would get mad, but she didn't; just took it all in stride.

She spoke with Joby and I a little bit about our plans for after we bring Faith home, and how we felt about adding another child, with special needs and from another culture, to our home. What we would tell her about being adopted, etc. She seemed to think our answers were appropriate.?.

It all seemed to go o.k.. So now I guess we are just waiting for our State security checks to come back alright, then for her to write it up and send it out. I know Julie at CCI (the placing agency) is eager to find a home for Faith, so she's happy that it may be sooner than later.

She sent us a loose timeline. It would mean coming up with all of the money in only a couple of months, but we would get to bring Faith home, possibly, by the end of Spring, beginning of Summer. That part would be AWESOME!

So, we're just waiting to hear from Kris that it's all done and ready to roll so we can move on to the next step. Please take a moment to say a prayer for us, and for Faith, that this moves ahead quickly, and that the money presents itself when needed. She really needs a forever family; no baby should live in an orphanage all of this time. Especially a baby that needs so much attention to achieve the potential I know she has!!

So, whether you're helping us financially, or with prayer, thanks so much ahead of time! Joby and I can definitely use both types of help and all we can get of them! :-)
