Forward Bound

It's like spring out there.  It's wet and rainy and warm out there.  Tomorrow it's going up to 13 degrees C.  It's January, middle of almost, so how can this be? Not that I'm complaining, just saying but I know the worst is yet to come.  We're not out of the woods here.

Our home session next week is still on schedule. Here it costs three thousand and the training course is seperate and costs fifteen hundred.  We still have more payments to put in but hopefully we'll make it to the end.  I've checked into an agency for China adoptions and they seem reasonable but it will still be an uphill battle.  The worst part is that we cannot be working towards a particular child but any child.  Of course it's not useless but it does keep your mind more focused.  Right now my mind is all over the place.  Will we ever complete the home study?  Will our dossier be accepted? Will we even come to the point of receiving a referral?  Most importantly of course, will my husband ever say yes?  Will God speak to his heart the way he has to mine?  What is the point of only speaking to one?

That's a lot of unanswered questions I wish I knew answers to.  We are coming to a close of getting all the police records and fingerprints done.  Then there are physicals.  First let's get past the next home study session and then hopefully go forward.

Here are a few photos from the end of 2012.
