Happily Waiting Still...

Well, we have been home for 3 1/2 weeks and we have not heard anything yet. But that's OK! We were contacted about 3 days after we got home from Russia and were asked for some paperwork. We are getting those together and getting them ready to send over to Russia.

There is one form that we are waiting on that we have not received yet. It is probably the MOST important form that is needed in the adoption process. The form that we had expired on March 22 and we have still yet to receive the new updated one. But again....that's OK. God knows the exact date that the form will come to our home and the exact day that we will get our court date and ever better...the exact date that we will get our baby Neil!! We are making a few calls and sending a few e-mails to get an idea of when the form will be coming to us and at this time, everyone is telling us possibly another 2 weeks.

Well, Coby and I are heading to California in about 2 weeks for about a week. We are going for a family wedding and can not wait. I can tell you honestly that has kept us busy and looking forward to something exciting!!

Coby has been crazy busy with work and real estate and I have been working on my photography, working at the pre-school at my church and staying busy. We also have joined an ADOPT class at my church (First Baptist Hendersonville) and we really have been enjoying it and it has been helping us TREMENDOUSLY!!! We meet once a month with other families who are in the process or have adopted children into their family. There are families with young babies, and ones who adopted babies who are now teenagers. It is great and encouraging! I really recommend anyone who lives in this area, to come join our class, it is the first Sunday night on the month. Coby and I were asked to talk last week at the meeting. We talked about some of our current issues and what we have learned and that we can look back and say that God alone is to be given the glory for pulling us through these past years.

Well, keep us in your thoughts and we ask for your prayers to continue.

That ADOPT class sounds wonderful. I am sure you are able to add so much with all you have been through.
