Tonight we had our final homestudy meeting with our sweet social worker! It worked out so well that she was coming through Hattiesburg today so we were able to meet up with her and her husband for dinner. We met up at Tabella and it was AMAZING.... as always. She gave us each a copy of our homestudy to review so that we can make any additional information or make any corrections. We are ready to get this show on the road so we made our revisions tonight and have already sent her our corrections. Once Andrea makes the revisions to our homestudy it will be sent to our agency for approval. That usually takes about 2 weeks. Then we will send a couple of forms to the Feds for approval and begin gathering the document's we need to complete our dossier and get it in the mail to Ethiopia!!
One of the great things about having our homestudy approved is that we will be able to apply for adoption grant's and loans. So to all our praying peeps out there, please pray for favor in the money department.
On that note, my sweet friend Lindsey Kinamon is helping me host a Mary Kay Party Fundraiser for Adoption at The Twin Oaks Apartment Complex Clubhouse on May 19th from 10-2. Its a come and go party with facials, door prizes and adoption information. The party was originally scheduled for April 17th but we had to cancel due to the crazy weather last week.
Getting done with our homestudy is a huge step in the adoption process and we are so excited to finally be at the end. It took longer than we were expecting but everything is in God's time and we just can't wait to see what the rest of this journey has in store for us!
Love you Much!
Christen
