We are still in the paperwork process. We completed our home study almost 1 month ago. Our home study provider was great and he made it very laid back and enjoyable! I didn’t know what to expect because in the adoption world you alway hear how anxious people are for this part, which I honestly attribute to God that he has calmed my nerves through this all. I think when we move in His will and not our own... anxiety doesn’t have a role to play because His will cannot be changed!
Now we are waiting .... DHS was behind (to give clearance that we have not had or currently did not have any cases open on us). After a few weeks our home study provider ended up having to call them and the report was done but they forgot to send it. Not shocking, but if I’m honest I could feel the anxiety of the wait creeping up. Now we are waiting on the report. The courts were closed during COVID and once they opened our provider has had multiple cases where short notice the reports had to be done for the following day .... so ours though important but not mandatorily needing done tomorrow got put on hold... and there is that tinge of anxiety. So I’ve been reminding myself, His will, His plan, His timing. This baby was ours before the beginning of time. “Do not worry about tomorrow for today has enough trouble of it’s own”. “Do not be anxious about anything, but in EVERYTHING through prayer and petition with thanksgiving, present your requests to God. And the peace of God which surpasses all understanding will guard your hearts and minds in Christ Jesus”.
So here we are... in the waiting and likely not the last time to be “anxiously” waiting. So we need your prayers! Prayers to calm our anxious hearts and trust in Gods timing. We love you guys!
