Home Study Finished

We just received word that our home study is finished. Our caseworker emailed to tell us that her part is done and it has been submitted for review. This should not take too long. Please continue praying for us to become a waiting family. We need our profile to go into the books soon. Once we get there, birth mothers can start considering us to be the adoptive parents.

Thanks for praying,

Baby's Room

We started working on the baby's room the other night. The guest bed that used to live in there finally sold to a college student in Nac. We bought the bed and changing table a couple weeks ago. It was fun putting those together (sarcasm). The rocking chair was a gift from a friend. Sedah is super excited to be a big sister, she keeps talking about the baby as a little girl, but has given it the name baby Cooper (the name of our friends' newborn). She has told us how she is going to help with the baby. But the way she carries around her dolls makes us a little nervous. We still don't have any new information. We are just waiting to hear from Buckner. They need to finish up typing our Home Study, then our profile will be placed in "the book," which expectant moms choose from. We thought we would be in the profile book about three weeks ago, but they have been busy. 

Ways to pray:

1. Pray for the baby. We are praying for it everyday.

2. Pray for the birthmom and the difficult decisions she will be making.

3. Pray for us to have patience as we wait for details to come together. It's all in God's hands and he knows exactly what's going on. Pray for us to trust Him. 

Thanks for praying!

Mailing Checks to Pure Charity

Thank you to all those making donations to our adoption. This is very exciting. We are in constant contact with the adoption agency, even hearing from them this morning. Please continue to pray for our family.

Pure Charity (the organization handling our fundraising efforts) just emailed us about a new way for mailing checks to them to support our adoption. We thought we would share the instructions here:

Their email:

Please note the NEW way we [Pure Charity] are receiving physical checks:
http://help.purecharity.com/customer/portal/articles/1555250-can-i-mail-a-check-instead-of-giving-on...

This is much more efficient and quick, so please advise would-be donors to NOT send checks to our office, but to follow the instructions in the link above. This way, their check goes straight to a lock box at our bank and the whole process is more smooth.

Again, THANK YOU for donating. As you can see, the gap is closing and we are continuing to trust the Lord through all of this. 

Thanks for praying!
