Homestudy in a Week!

In exactly one week we have our homestudy. A homestudy is a time when a social worker comes to your home and interviews your for like 6ish hours... I will be honest with you its kind of nerve racking to think about...They ask all sorts of questions about why you want to adopt, about your childhood, and lots of "what if" type questions just to see how you might react. I think it will prove to be no big deal, but it makes me a little nervous anyway. I was forced to draw a diagram of our house and come up with the official "WILSON FIRE ESCAPE PLAN." I thought up just putting WINDOW on a blank sheet of paper, but I think they're looking for a little more than that...
Be praying for us as we prep for the homestudy, clean our house, and continue to wait on official government and Gladney approval!

Blessings,

Adoption Update

Check out the VLOG!

Tuesday, March 2, 2010

Welcome!

If you are reading this then somehow you have stumbled into our little world. This blog is dedicated to family, faith, and our journey of adoption. For quite sometime Katie and I have known that the Lord was going to call us to adopt... It wasn't until recently though that proverbial light turned green and we slammed our foot on the accelerator. So, at the end of January we decided that we were going to adopt a baby boy from Africa, or Ethiopia more specifically. We have been going strong for about a month now and there are already lots of stories to tell. You'll here some of those, as well as others I'm sure, until we bring home our little boy (prayfully in about 12-18 months OR SOONER!)

So please join with us in praying through this whole process... Ask the Lord to keep our baby safe, to protect us from snags along the way, and to prepare us for the next stage in our journey through life! You can check out our adoption time line, some facts about Ethiopia, and more on the links at the top of the page.
