Oh the Waiting...

We've got a bit of movement in the adoption process. If you didn't know, it's a very slow process...It seems that God thinks you need to play a waiting game, no matter how you get your children, pregnancy or adoption! Oh the waiting!

Our psychological evaluation went great. As I mentioned before, it was a three hour session of answering questions and taking multiple choice "tests" (over 500 questions). I guess it's pay back for all of the multiple choice tests I give my students. :] There were some very interesting questions, most of them were what you'd expect to see on a psychological evaluation. There were a couple that caught us off guard. "Does it bother you to receive random ads in the mail?" and "Do you enjoy archery and collecting stamps?" Interesting, right? The funny thing is, I really did collect stamps as a kid...I hope that isn't a red flag for a crazy person! hehe. 

Our next big step will be July 23rd, we will be meeting with our social worker to give her our giant binder of adoption paperwork. This includes bank statements, three letters of recommendations, letters from our employers, letters from our bank, utility bills, physicals, marriage licenses, birth certificates...on and on and on! . (Other than buying a house, I don't think I've ever signed my name so many times.) Then, July 28th she will come to our house to evaluate our home to make sure it is acceptable to welcome another family member! At this meeting E-man, J-man, Harrison (our dog), and Jack (the cat) must be present. Sounds eventful! After she writes up her part, we will be finished with our home study! So once again, keep those prayers a coming!

I realize that I'm rambling a lot. Bear with me, it is my way keeping you all updated and documenting the process.
