Whether you followed us here from our old blog or are just now joining us, we are so thankful you are here! Thanks for joining us on this adventure as we wait for God to bring us the child He has chosen for us since before there was time.
Many of you have asked us "What now?" and that is a great question. What is the process now? What is the next step? We'll do a bit of Q&A today in hopes of letting you in on the nuts and bolts of our journey.
Q. "What is the next step?"
A. The next step for us is completing a Parenting Training course, filling out another approximately 100 page document, then having our Home Study done.
The Parenting Training course is a 10 hour online mandatory course and a book we must read to help us as parents prepare to receive this new little child. Once that is complete and we have filled out the large document and sent it in, we will schedule our Home Study with a social worker from Generations Adoption. The purpose of this is to make sure we look as good in real life as we do on paper. :-)
Q. "Where will your daughter come from?"
A. Kampala, Uganda! Generations works with a small but wonderful children's home in the capitol city of Uganda, and that is where our daughter will be coming from.
Q. "How much will this cost?"
A. Approximately $23,000.00. The large amount of money this adoption will cost has never once been an overwhelming factor to us. We trust the Lord Jesus to provide every single penny to bring our daughter home! Several people have expressed a desire to help us fund raise - we are SO thankful for that!
Q. "How long will it take?"
A. In theory, the length of the process from start to finish is 12-18 months, but this can vary greatly by a whole host of reasons.
There are many more questions we've been asked, but these are the ones that come up most frequently. We LOVE hearing from you and feel so thankful to be surrounded by a community of loving and supportive family and friends! The overwhelming response of love and support we have received has humbled us greatly.
Praise be to GOD who adopted us and welcomed us into His family; we delight in being His sons and daughters.
