One Step Closer

Yesterday was such an exciting day. We had our homestudy! Everyone and everything was spic and span! Andrea rolled in town around noon and had a light lunch with us. To be honest, I was a little nervous about the intensity of the day. I knew there would be a lot of processing situations, scenarios, and philosophies. My nerves were immediately calmed as we began talking. With each question, we were reaffirmed with our decision to adopt. There was something about getting "our story" on paper and even talking about the potential hard situations we could face. No topic was too overwhelming. In a lot of ways it was therapeutic. Throughout the day, we were filled with peace and utter excitement as we talked about our son and his future. The girls were more than willing to sit down for an interview. There were only smiles from ear to ear as they talked about their brother- to- be. However, there was a little disappointment to learn that there is 15-18 months of waiting from the homestudy. Even so, the Lord is in control. Thank you to my troops that rallied to pray for the Page family. We love you all and appreciate your support. We are one step closer to our "little man!"
