Final Home Study

Today we had our FINAL (yay Final!) Home Study.  While it is a relief to know that we are done with the interviews (which at times felt like interrogations), the home safety checks, and the mounds of paperwork and questionnaires, we are in no way on the home stretch.  I sometimes wonder if we will ever be or feel like we are.  Our case worker is completing her write up and our final home study will be sent to us for review before it is signed off by the agency home office.  Once it is signed we are clear for our profile to be shown to the birthmothers.  This is when we have to trust totally in Gods plan, it's in his timing not ours. From here on out we covet your prayers.  Pray specifically that we have patience.  That's not in my vocabulary and is nearly impossible for me but I pray that God covers me in patience.  Pray that our waiting process won't take long and that our baby is right around the corner.  But more importantly, please pray for our child's 1st mommy, their birth mother.  I cannot begin to imagine the pain and heartache she must be (or will be) feeling.  Pray that she is comforted and blanketed in confidence that she is doing what is best for her unborn child.  Pray that she sees what a self-less act of pure love she is doing and that she takes pride in the fact that she is making our families dreams come true.  We love you all and are grateful for each one of you who are following and praying for us.
