ADOPTION UPDATE

We got word this week that there is a baby due in a week or two, and if we could rush through the remainder of our homestudy we might be considered for this little one!

So, I'm headed to Jefferson City tomorrow to get State Criminal Abuse clearances processed for our home study. Sounds like a fun daytrip eh? We attempted to get our fingerprints for our FBI checks done at our local police department, but we were quickly shooed away because they had just arrested someone and were bringing him in for processing. The woman at the front desk was extremely serious, and let us know in no uncertain terms that we did not want to be around when they brought this guy in.
So we'll attempt to get fingerprinted tomorrow at 8AM, before I head to Jeff City.

We have all our remaining interview scheduled. That phase of the process will be done by mid-week.

Please pray for us! We know God's timing is perfect and if this little one is to be ours, all of this can get done, lickity split!

And in the midst of it all we are believing HIM to provide $20.000 (possibly a bit more).

Please remember to pray for us, and to pray for Elia Jane! We long to bring her home.
