So in the last post I made, I mentioned that we had just found out that we had to have our home study completed ASAP. There is a pretty neat story about this… it’ll give you a little glimpse of God’s timing:
Most of you know that I work for Human Resources at a huge company. Early last week, one of our employees received a random letter from a company asking for our business to use their services. One of their services happened to be home study preparation. The employee that received this letter knew of our pending adoption and forwarded the letter to me saying “I know the business won’t need this, but didn’t know if you’d be interested or not.” To make matters even more interesting, the lady that sent the letter asking for our business used to work in a neighboring county’s foster care system. The “coincidence” of this is almost unbelievable! We contacted her immediately and started the process needed. Due to her background in both foster care and legal law, she is knowledgeable in how to transfer our foster home study to a state-approved home study in order to make the process much quicker and much cheaper. We have almost all of the paperwork already completed since we were licensed as foster parents less than a year ago. By law, Tara (our home study specialist) has to visit our home and “interview” us two times before we can have the documentation finalized. Our first visit will be this coming Monday, April 18th @ 6 pm.
We also received an update from our Adoption Coordinator this weekend. Here is her email:

Your profile is showing so well. We normally do not tell you every time your profile is being considered- as it does hurt to not be chosen. So I will not tell you every time, unless we need your approval of a situation. We have had great feedback on you guys though :)
Have a Super Weekend!
