Author Archives: admin Just got the word from our home study agency that copies have been made and everything is notarized! Everything will arrive via FedEx in my hands TOMORROW (Tuesday). YAY! And that means…I’ll be joggin, break dancing and singing all the way to the FedEx store to next day ship our dossier, home study and check […]  Parenting. Eeek. We hear that word…and the next thing I think about is the phrase: good parenting. Then I think of: effective parenting. What is one of the first things that comes to mind when you think about being a good, effective parent? We all have our mommy blogs we go to for inspiration on parenting. […] Wow! Great post! I needed to hear this. I feel like Dee and I are really starting to work things out too! You are such an encouragement to me, and I'm so thankful for you! Yesterday I was at our church Ladies' Retreat, and the sweet girl who spoke to us challenged us to let God lead, and see where he takes us. I have so much trouble staying out of God's way. So, today, I'm refreshed, excited, encouraged by you, and can't wait to see where he leads us!!! AMEN!!!!!!!!!!!! We all have areas we need to work on to get our order right! Thank you for your post 🙂  I love… …that every day the minute Parker comes home from school—without fail or hesitation…he always does this He attends Fellowship Christian School…they don’t wear uniforms but require them to wear collar shirts. Parker and collar shirts don’t mix. So–first things always first the minute he walks in the door. He insists he can jump […] sweet little post!! Awwww……..cute!!! Love your new look! Precious photos about your precious three! Your blog looks great & your children are precious! My Riley (8 years old) does the exact same thing with his shirt when he gets home from school! Those collars cramp their style :). I'm praying for you guys and that sweet baby waiting to come home! Our workbook was reviewed by AGCI today, and we’re good to go! Next step. As soon as we get notarized copies of our home study from AAA Adoption Partners next week we can mail in our notarized home study, dossier and dossier payment. AAA is in Dawsonville, so I called them today and gave them my […] That is good news. We found out there was one problem with one form in our dossier. Luckily it was one that I had to type and notarize, so I will have a new one notarized and overnighted tomorrow. Kiersten said that we will be given a number as soon as she receives the new form, so that means that we should have a number by Monday or Tuesday. All in God's timing 🙂 I just know we are going to be traveling together. I'm excited to watch your journey. Ours had a lot of complications and actually took 3 years, but it was worth every second!! God already knows who your child is and will do whatever is necessary to bring him/her to you! Yay! Very good news indeed. Can't wait to see some wait list numbers for you 🙂 My how good the Lord is to us! I am humbled and so thankful that two of my bestfriends spent two hours of their KID-FREE morning at my house to pray for our adoption, our baby’s birth mother, our baby and our family during our adoption process. Thank you April and Addie for being such […] That is amazing! What wonderful friends 🙂 Praise God for great people to stand with you in your calling to your son!!!!!

Yay!
Still waiting on our case worker to call us with our number 🙂 I have checked FedEx and it was delivered. So, what's taking so long (Ha)! I am glad to hear that your dossier will be reviewed this Friday.
Blessings,
Amy
Yay, I am so happy for you and I hope that your dossier looks great and you will have some numbers to share on Friday 🙂
Well…for someone who will be starting the dossier shortly, appreciate that you made it look a little less scary! Although I am realizing that I have a lot of work to do to make my house look as spotless as yours!! =)
Our home study was approved today!! We've got our dossier ready and waiting to mail off too (thanks to the list you emailed me before the requirements got here in the mail!) HOW FUN that we are in this together!

Hey, if it would help someone to adopt I would volunteer to help them understand and do the paperwork- it may seem HUGE, but it is actually not bad. I would do it several times over (oh wait- i have- he he he he)….to bring home a child!
It is happening! God's timing is here! Can't wait to hear your number!
Thanks for this post, we just sent in our orientation packet to AGCI and are anxiously awaiting the arrival of our dossier packet. I've been anxious about it from other people's comments, but this looks doable! Would you mind me emailing you with some questions as you appear to be a few steps ahead of us in the same journey? My email is betsyandchad@mail.com
Blessings on your journey!
