Our home study is almost complete! We are lacking one piece of paper. The person who is suppose to supply that piece of paper promised to get it done this weekend. If that is so, it should be on it's way to Winston-Salem and will soon be with the rest of the home study. Once the home study is reviewed here and finalized for NC, it will go to Holt in Oregon to make sure it is ready for the international journey. When our home study is approved by Holt, we can be matched with who God has the planned for us. So I am a little anxious over this ONE piece of paper -- even though I know this piece of paper has nothing to do (really) with what ultimately happens.
Beyond the home study, the dossier paperwork keeps chugging along. We are down to 19 documents for that, although I suspect that a couple of ones that are done need fine tuning. This process seems/ IS so different than Tad's adoption. It is moving faster from the beginning than Tad's did, but we know (or have been told) the whole process will take longer. I feel more of a sense of urgency with this one for some reason. Perhaps because I know we will be getting older children this time (just based on the fact that we are not of Indian descent we are only eligible to get older children) and I just want to have my children with me before they are any older! I don't know. Maybe because I already know that whoever God has chosen is already ours. I remember thinking that with the last adoption process, but it certainly wasn't the strong pull I feel now. Hopefully these musing will make some small semblance of sense to someone!
