Here is our beautiful Annah!

Here is our beautiful Annah!
There is an ancient Chinese belief which states that when a child is born an invisible red thread connects that child's soul to all those people-present and in the future- who will play a part in that child's life. As each birthday passes, those threads shorten and tighten, bringing closer those people who are fated to be together.

Adoption Process is Official

Yes, we have started the process officially! We are paper pregnant!! YIPPEE! We sent $250 in with our application to adopt two children. We specified that we wanted to adopt two children. We also specified that one of the children must be a little girl. We have already named her Annah Kay. The second child, we did not specify a gender. We are considering the names Katie Ann if it is a girl and Jack Michael if it is a boy.

Tonight, I have worked on my questionaire sheet for our homestudy, that is yet to be scheduled. The questionaire sheet is nine pages long so you can imagine that this took awhile to do.

Last night we worked on cleaning our office out so we could make room for the new babies. We are far from being done. It's a disaster in their!!!

Our next step in the process is the homestudy process which will cost $1200. We will gather up our marriage license, pictures of our house, pics of each other, birth certificates, financial statements, proof of employment documents, medical letters from our doctors, and recommendations from our friends for the homestudy.

Lots more work to do but what a joy it is to be able to adopt two more children. The Lord has blessed us with a wonderful work and a desire to bring up our children in the Lord. Thank you for your support and prayers! Jera
