Adoption update:

Scheduled a home visit for our homestudy for Nov. 11. Looking forward to it and hoping that it all goes smoothly. Biggest fear: having any sort of misunderstanding with our social worker and her being frustrated with us and/or losing confidence in us.

Anticipating/praying/hoping to be signing an application with an adoption agency this weekend when we have time to REALLY think about it. (We have made the pre-decision to do that, but have been busy with kids and work and all that) If we are a go, then we are going to be pursuing adopting a kiddo with Down Syndrome from Eastern Europe (EE) in the country we’ve been hoping to adopt from all along who is under 2 years old. They may or may not have other needs (like heart defect, cleft lip, etc.). We do not know at what point we will have a referral for our new child… it could be at any point in the process.

If we send in the application, it will mark the beginning of the great paper chase.

Once we decide on the country and everything, we’ll need to prayerfully consider the travel arrangements. The travel will happen some time down the road, but we’ll need to decide if Anna and Maggie are coming with us or not and all that. If they do, we’ll be needing somebody to come with us (expenses paid) to help. Exciting! Expensive! Still exciting!
