I know I haven't posted in awhile, and quite frankly it's because I am up to my EARS in garage sale details! We have been absolutely inundated with donations to sell, but every item requires pricing and sorting, so I have been working on that every spare minute. I promise that in the next day or so I will post pictures of our house and garage, just so you can see the sheer madness I am trying to describe. Suffice it to say, our house currently looks like we need to be sent in to the show "Hoarders"!
In adoption news, we finally had our first meeting for our homestudy last night! YAY! We met with our very nice adoption specialist for three full hours, and talked about all kinds of things...adoption in general, why we decided to adopt, why we chose Ethiopia, our thoughts on transracial adoption...we packed a ton into the time. We meet two more times, and then we'll get our completed homestudy after that. This is a super big deal because we need the homestudy to send our immigration paperwork in and be allowed to bring a child into the country. One step at a time, but I am very excited to really be underway in the homestudy process! We have to each read 3 adoption-related books (so far I've read one), and take an 8 hour online class as well, before the homestudy is complete. I'll bet you can guess what our top priority is as soon as the sale is over!
My book recommendations are
ReplyDelete* There is No Me Without You by Melissa Faye Green
* Adopted for Life by Russell Moore
When is the yard sale??
Thanks Brittney! I just read "There is No Me Without You" and loved it, so I need two more, but she gave us a list to choose from. I'll have to check out "Adopted For Life" once we're done with the homestudy and I can just read for fun again! :) Oh, and the yard sale is this Saturday. If you know anyone in Indy, pass it along!
