Adoption Time Line Update

I feel like a pilot when I say "We are in a holding pattern" in our adoption process.  We have our whole dossier done minus the homestudy of course since we haven't been able to start that yet.  We have all of our home study documents done.  Can you guess what we are waiting for?   Yep, the FBI!  We had our prints done on Dec. 9, and I mailed it all off Dec. 10 so I know it should be soon right?

We are also in a holding pattern for fundraising.  We went door to door before Christmas selling our t-shirts, but found it just wasn't the best time of year to do so since everyone was spent dry from Christmas shopping.  We can't really do a car wash at this point either unless we don't mind our hands freezing!!!

So we wait.  The waiting is good in that it makes you rely that much more on Him.

Cheers to those other adoptive parents out there who are also in the same holding pattern :)
