Another step completed in the process!

It has been a while since I have had time to post. I have been so busy with Christmas shopping and parties, completing adoption forms, and work. We have been swamped at work, so we haven't been getting to leave early, or even just breathe while we are there. So, during all my off time, I am shopping and trying to get ready for the holidays.

Josh and I have also completed another step in the adoption process. After our individual interviews, we were given a good bit of paperwork to complete. We set a goal to turn in this paperwork by the 13th and we did it! Well, we actually turned it in the morning of the 14th, but close enough. It seemed like God helped us get everything done because it all went so smoothly. Josh and I even said one night as we were getting everything together that doing all of this has been so much easier than the infertility treatments and doctor visits were. We can't help but feel that there is a reason for that. Everything has just fallen into place so far. I know we might face some difficulties, but I feel God's peace and I know He will get us through anything.

I hope you all have a wonderful Christmas and remember the reason for the season. I have been thinking a lot about that lately. Growing up in the church I was in, we didn't focus on Christ's birth at all because we don't know his exact birthdate. But, now, as an adult in the church that I am in, I am so thankful that we do focus on Christ's birth this time of year.

Merry Christmas!! Please be in prayer that our fingerprinting cards are returned quickly and that we can be an approved family waiting for our precious baby by February.
