- The week after our Silent Auction Fundraiser, we turned in every piece of homestudy paperwork that we had been working on for the past 6 months. Every questionnaire, every medical report, every certificate, every piece of information you could ever think of.
- We then waited for our social worker to write up our homestudy. This took about a week or 2 and then she sent it over to our adoption agency (Holt International) to approve. The approval process was supposed to take about 2-3 weeks, but due to some set backs at Holt's office, it took a month for our homestudy to be looked at. And then when they got to it, they figured out that our psychological evaluation was not written in the right format. :( So that puts us at early April. We had to go take another multiple choice test at the psychologist's office and then set up ANOTHER appointment to cover information that wasn't in the first report (family history, parenting techniques, etc.). Well I just got a call from our our psychologist saying that our new evaluation is ready!!
So hopefully we will having exciting news soon that our homestudy is officially approved!! In the meantime we would appreciate prayers that we have patience to endure this long process with hope and expectation, for health, safety, and happiness for our future baby, and for God's will to be known and done.
