We're Accepted!!

Saturday, August 20 we received our acceptance letter from Little Miracles with a huge packet of paperwork. Trevor and I spent 3 hours filling out the paperwork about everything you could possibly think of. Then I spent an hour making copies of our marriage certificate (which I realized says we were married on March 14 when it should say March 4...whoops :-)), birth certificates for everyone in the family, social security cards for us all, vaccinations for the children, employment verification, a layout of our house, etc. I can honestly see why people give up right here. Not only was the paperwork tedious but then the initial check to Little Miracles wasn't small. This is why when one begins the adoption journey, it is so important for you to remember who it's ALL about. It's not about you or your hubby or your kids, although you will greatly benefit from it, but it's about Our Heavenly Father and taking care of HIS little orphan. It is ALL worth it!!!! We now send in the packet and then Little Miracles will begin our home study! Super excited to get it rolling...

  1. Saw your blog makeover on Becky's blog. I love finding others adopting from DRC. We are just slightly behind you in the process so I will look forward to following along in your journey. Our blog can be found at www.nothinglefttopaint.com
