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!!

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!
I feel like we're both in the same boat! I've struggled so much with balancing my photography business & being the wife/mommy I'm called to be for the past three years since we stepped out in faith to this new path. And of course, I try to get my act together, and it doesn't work! It's because only HE can do it! 😉
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 🙂
