Lots of News-----

Sorry we have been so busy and have not updated our blog. A lot has happened since our last post. We had our second homestudy visit with our social worker Michelle. We met with her on Saturday, September 15th. I think it went really well. We have our last homestudy visit scheduled for this Saturday, October 13th here at our house.

Also, we finally got our appointment for our fingerprints. We go this Thursday to the USCIS office in Charleston, WV to have them done. Then we have to complete one more module in our DVD Course and we will have that done. I can not wait to have this part behind us and to finally get on the waiting list. Then the long wait and the nail biting will begin.


I want to thank everyone who wrote a letter of reference for us. This is such a long and stressful process and to see our friends and family really get behind us and give us such love and support is wonderful and a great help.


On Saturday, September 29th, Hailey, our best friends' little girl, had her 3rd birthday party. She is such a doll and she had a great birthday party. Her birthday is really September 30th, but Corrinna and Rod had her party on Saturday when everyone could come.

Lastly, on a happy note, Jacob's room is finally starting to take shape. Jacob's room (formally our office) is now empty and ready for painting. Really we just wanted to get the office moved so that we would have a place to keep things that people are giving us for him. I'm trying to keep myself from doing too much to his room too soon. I will need something to do to keep myself from going crazy while we wait for our referral. I have bought some clothes and different things but Alonzo is keeping me in check. Alonzo and I have also picked out the paint color for his room but will not start painting till spring. Right now it seems like we have such a long time to go before we see our baby for the first time. It's like everyone says, it will be worth it in the end when we have Jacob in our arms and are finally a family.


I will let everyone know how the fingerprinting and the last homestudy goes this weekend. Everyone take care.

Congratulations on your progress. The journey will be worth the wait. We have been waiting for 15 months for our referral. Best wishes to you.
