Date Update

We have to tell you that working with Bethany Christian Services has been WONDERFUL!!  They are just so on the ball, organized, supportive and all out AMAZING!! So happy we switched.  We also learned the other agency completed out paperwork in the wrong format and once to the state would have been denied, and who knows when the boys would have been able to move in?!  God is good for providing wise council and ability to quickly switch to Bethany.

What now?: Everything is already done and in!!!!! Can you believe it?? What we worked months on was completed in less than a month!  So now Bethany just has to finish up the forms and they plan to submit them by May 30^th. 

When:  Initial movie in date of June 15^th is still possible but unlikely. The adoption worker has seen the process take 10 days in miraculous occasions, but we are more realistically hoping for June 30^th.

Other updates: Hannah’s friends from work had a kid shower for us and it was incredibly thoughtful, supportive, and encouraging!!  Hannah’s personal note: I can hardly believe I have known these ladies for less than two years and yet they feel so much like family and such a key part of our “Village!” LOVE THEM!!  As a "mom-to-be" I truly felt like I had the experience of a baby shower as I sat there unwrapping Legos, a football, books, etc…it was so cool, I loved listening to other’s advice and feeling their support.  I felt love and excitement in air for us!!

At family therapy we each had to say in thing we like about each other. The youngest child said he liked me because, "she has a good heart and takes good care if us and makes good dinners." About Beaver he said, "he has a good sense if humor and makes me laugh."

We are certainly learning together every time we are together!  The adoption worker said she thought they would need longer to adjust but now sees they are really bonding and ready to move in...pray the paperwork goes through quickly!! They so need stability and consistent environment!
