Today (which happens to be the anniversary of Sedah's adoption day when she finally became a Betron) we have sent in our formal paperwork for our next adoption. In the big scheme of things, this is only step number four of many more steps. The entire application process takes about four months with the conclusion of our home study. The paperwork we sent in today includes background information, copies of birth certificates, insurance papers, proof of will, pet vaccinations, copy of our marriage license, permission for background check, etc. One of the things we've learned about adoption is that when it's all said and done, the agency knows more about you than you know about yourself.
Specific ways to pray now:
- Pray for the birthmother who is considering an adoption plan for the child she is carrying.
- Pray that we would be patient as we move forward through this journey.
- Pray that the resources we need for this would come together to keep us moving through the different stages. This formal paperwork is $300. An upcoming seminar is $300. A formal interview is $500. An installment of $2000 follows our home study. This is all due before placement.
- Pray that our formal paperwork would be accepted by the agency and without any hitches.
Thank you for praying,
Jeremiah, Amanda, and Hesedah
