His Promises Kept

Well, we hit a little hiccup in our journey during the 2nd trimester (that part from the time home study is done to the time we are matched with a family)...we were missing a few pieces of information in our home study by the previous agency.  I contacted the agency and requested the information (which wasn't hard...in fact...she was awesome and willing to do it).  We got that paperwork yesterday! :) Woohoo! We had a meeting with our social worker on Tuesday this past week, and she went over our profile book and talked about where and how to improve it (including the order of it)...so I'm working on that. Once we submit our paperwork from the agency then we should be all set to go...:D Super excited!!!  So it may have been a little hiccup, but it was easy to fix! :D  Our social worker did tell us that she doesn't need our profile book to put us on the list, so we have time to get that fixed, but I plan to send her our home study packet this weekend!! :D Keep you ...

God has been absolutely AMAZING at how He'e been moving in this process. So far, (even though it's not on the thermometer to the side)...we are just under $3,000 away from being to our half way goal for our agency.  It amazes me how God has been coming through, and he never seems to cease amazing us either.  We are just short of $7,000...and it continues to climb every day.  I have had a few people say, "Here, it's not much, but every little bit counts." I tell them right back, "You have no idea!" It's been incredibly awesome to watch God do all this...because truthfully, we couldn't do this without Him! He has brought people into my life that I don't even know that has helped us some way, shape, or form.  Whether they donated items for our raffle, bought tickets for our raffle, have trusted me to do their hair...or even their kids to babysit...all those, what people call little things, truly do ADD up...and quickly!!! We are still waiting ...

Here is what we have for our profile book...  

Well, I think I realized that our full story isn't really told...sure we are adopting...sure we have tried for a while....but here is the whole thing... Christine and Stephen’s story: Ok, where to begin but at the beginning right?  LOL Steve and I will be married for 10 years on the 17 th of this month.  We started off on birth control and about a year later, we decided to get off the pill and try to start a family.  We knew it would take a few months, so in July, we were off.  To our surprise, we found out a month later that we were pregnant! I was thrilled and shocked! So was Steve!  I questioned it at first because the home pregnancy test came back negative, but when I went to the doctor, they confirmed it (I even got to see it because I didn’t believe her! LOL)…we went for blood work to verify and it was confirmed, we were pregnant!! We figured out that I was just starting my 5th week and that was probably why my home test came back negative. Arou...
