It has only been one day since we announced to everyone that we were starting our third adoption. I am overcome with such love and support from everyone. Open arms all around from everyone. I was expecting some opinions, questions and skepticism, but it seems no one is surprised that we are ready to adopt a little girl into our family. We have been talking about when this might happen for the last two years and we thought it might be even another year before we were ready, but the timing is all God's alone. Adoption can be a very stressful verb to follow into, but every parent seems to know just when it's right. We are in that spirt right now. It's right and it feels so wonderful to begin this journey, I can't even tell you.
Right now we have only signed our contract with the adoption agency a few days ago. Within the next couple of weeks we will begin preparation for the dossier. Our goal is to have our dossier finished and ready to be sent off to Uganda by the end of April. We hope to be matched with a child by around the end of July and hopefully come home sometime around the beginning of January 2013. Obviously, we hope to have her even quicker than that, but it is wise to set our hopes further out rather than sooner. For now we are going to have to do some fund raising to help pay for a bit of this adoption, but we have some fun and unique ideas that we are ready to put into action. I am mostly thankful for my Thirty-One business as it allows me to put all my income from that straight into our adoption account. So if anyone is thinking of where they might do some Christmas shopping, please please visit my Thirty-One website as all the profit from your purchases there go straight towards our little girls adoption.
The boys are alive with excitement and Joey wishes she'd just come home tomorrow already! Brayan understands a bit more that this is process and could take a long time. I love how involved our children have become in their future little sister's place in our family. They lovingly refer to her and talk about a child they have never met or cannot put a face to. She is already in their hearts.
For now, this is the beginning, but please stop by anytime here to check in on us! Peace and love.
