Finally, After 6 months of chasing paper, searching for a homestudy agency who didn't think we were nuts adopting out of birth order and waiting months on USCIS clearance, challenges of getting paperwork notorized correctly and certified and authentications from 2 consulates. I can say I am done with putting together our dossier for Noah and it is on it's way to our agency to be checked and translated. If everything is done correctly it should be on it's merry way on Mon! Thank You Father God for giving me the fortitude to keep moving forward despite the battles and the heart of a lioness for this sweet child~~~ Miracles do happen and Noah is a mighty miracle to me! I am so excited about this part of the process being finished. This month has been such a challenge for our family the water heater blew, then the water softener, then Mark was in a car accident and now we learn we may have to replace all the plumbing in the house due to changing out the old plumbing from the water heater etc.... I wonder and cried out to God "how are we going to do this" He keeps saying watch me! So I am watching and trying to not look down from the side of the moutain less I be filled with extreme fear and fall! My God can do all things and won't drop us now. He will never drop us! So Please remind me of that when I start looking down from time to time. I tend to borrow tommorrows problems. Anyway celebrate with us at this momentous occassion. We will be officially waiting in less than a week!!!!! WAHOO!!!!! A family of 5 we will soon be! How awsome is that? Noah sweet boy we are finally moving forward and you'll soon be home sweetie!!!!!! Thanks for sharing in my extreme JOY!!!!!!! WAHOO!!!!

I was one of Noah's prayer warriors praying his family would find him. I'm thrilled you are soon to be DTC. Wow, what a struggle! So glad it is behind you. Hold strong to your finger and toe holds on the mountainside!
Noah, your family is coming!!

SOunds like you have had one heck of a month! On the bright side, you are a few steps closer to bringing your sweet boy home! Hang in there. As you know, this adoption process is a WILD RIDE!
