Training Done!

Today was the last of our 14 hour training process. What a lot of information to digest. Our next step is a home study, heath inspection and fire inspection. We also have to get our medicals done again. I feel we are back to where we were two years ago with Zambia. It is frustrating that we still have no baby, but we know God has a little one out there for us. We often wonder if this route will be the right one for us. There are so many older children and not many infants. Especially infants that do not have major medical issues! Since we cannot live in Zambia for 3-4 months we feel that is a closed door. We do not want to find out one, two years down the road that this road was not the right one either and we would have to start over again. We continue to pray and seek His will. I still have not sent this website out to anyone. Maybe once I get better at actually posting I will...

Adoption Training

I still have not gotten into this blogging thing, but I thought I would give it another try. Today JJ and I went to Florence, which is an hour away, for a 7 hour training session in order to adopt through the State. Grandpa Tom and Grandma Sue watched Macie which was so helpful. She was so excited about their long day together. JJ and I both felt the training went a lot better then expected. We even got out early! It was a very informative meeting and we walked away exhausted! So much information my mind could not hold it all. We ended up going out to eat when it was over to start some of the paperwork. We have to hand it in next Saturday at our last 7 hour training! Hopefully we will get it all done. It was also an emotional day. We have been working on adoption paper work for 2 years now. Our emotions have been on a roller coaster that we do not know if we should get excited yet. We know God has a plan for our family we just do not know what it is yet! Macie prays for a brother AND a sister all the time. It is sweet but also heart breaking.

New to this...

I have read and followed so many other blogs that I finally caved in and started one! I think this is a great way to stay connected to family and friends around the world. Not sure how often I will update this, but keep checking back! Who knows I could get the hang of this and blog weekly(:
