Today John and I mailed off 31 documents to be Apostilled. I have not felt such a weight lifted in a long time. Then once I walk out had massive anxiety. What if they get lost, or damaged. Then I realized that God didn't bring us this far to abandon us.
We are still waiting for our State Criminal Background Check. We ordered our marriage certificates from California which is as difficult as getting them from a foreign country. LOL! We have our physicals scheduled and blood work is finished, waiting for results. Our tax returns for this year. I think that is all...Praise God!!!
I woke this morning and for a brief moment panicked because I thought I had messed up our documents and we weren't going to be able to adopt. It took me a second before I realized that I had been dreaming...LOL! I defiantly need a break, but as anyone who has done this before knows, you can't. It is an obsession that drives you day and night! I just keep looking at those beautiful little faces and I get renewed energy to continue on.
John and I pray over every document that we complete and send off. Our prayer is that this will be finished quickly and that we will have our daughters home this summer.
At the same time our daughter Faith is adopting her baby girl from Korea. It is such an amazing thing to be doing this together. We call each other several times every day to discuss all that we are doing. It is so exciting to me as her mother, to hear the enthusiasm in her voice as she works on her HS. So, how totally blessed are John and I, that we are not only getting three beautiful little angels to love, but we are getting a new granddaughter as well!!! Can life get any better?
Praying all your paperwork is protected and perfect.
