So, what about the adoption?

Now that Moriah is here this seems to be the question we hear every day. We are anxious to get moving again with the adoption. The first step is to update our homestudy with the new member of our family. This means another home visit by our social worker, letting her update everything, and sending it off to USCIS again. We are expecting that our next visit to see Graham will be for our court date and then we will need to wait 30 days after that before we can go back and bring him home to his family. We will try to keep everyone up to date on what is happening and hopefully get an idea of a timeline soon. I am hoping he will be home before his birthday in July, we will see how realistic that is.

Next Step:
Home visit to update homestudy - Wednesday, April 18th

Please Pray For:
us to be prepared for the judge's questions
Graham's heart to be prepared to join our family
an easy transition for everyone when he comes home
us to be able to line up childcare for 6 kids for our second trip
a court date to be set as soon as God allows
the judge's heart, to be understanding of our motivations to adopt
peace for Brett and I during this busy, but exciting, season of life
that the second half of our adoption journey goes a bit smoother than the first half!
