Our Journey towards Parenting!

Seems so far away, yet so close. Let the nerves fly now! December 18th is the day that we meet Heather for the first time. Heather is our social worker! I forgot to mention how fast things have been going for us. We turned in our application and it was approved less then a week later and were given the name of our social worker and that she would be contacting us in 3-5 weeks. Well, it took two days for Heather to email us! So far, I've only talked to Heather through email but she seems really nice and I can't wait to meet her face to face. Its so crazy to think that in August we were just thinking about adopting and now 3 months later, we are in the beginning stages of our home study! Wow!! I'm not sure what our first meeting has in store for us, but she did say that it would be at least 2 hours long! Since we live an hour away from Bethany, Matt and I are both taking the day off (its a friday, so three day weekend, woohoo!) We will be pretty busy with more papers between

We just got word that our application was approved! Our social worker's name is Heather and we'll be hearing from her in the next 3-5 weeks to set up appointments! It was really nerve racking sending out those papers, there was a fear in the back of my head that kept telling me we wouldn't get approved for one reason or another but I didn't listen to it. Its so amazing to follow in the path that God has for you. This is truly His timing and His desire for us! I feel like running around and jumping for joy!
