Reality Check

Last Saturday we received a new packet of paperwork more involved than the first. This took me off guard. We had turned in so many things when we turned in our application, I was surprised to see the new list of 23 other documents we need for the home study. We need to get our fingerprints done, medical statements signed by our physician that we don't have HIV or TB, copies of birth certificates (guess it's finally time to order Lillie's!), a detailed floor plan of our home, marriage license, confirmation from our insurance company regarding medical coverage of the baby, more questionnaires, more photos, etc. I will admit that the big packet of stuff that will take us a good week or more to complete deflated my balloon a bit. I was ready to schedule that first interview. I am coming to grips with the fact that I can absolutely trust God and his timing for things. So we'll be off to get fingerprinted this week!
