Adoption Update

Hey everyone! Just wanted to give you a quick update. We are anxiously awaiting our adoption class we take on October 4th and 18th. We hope to turn in all our paperwork on the 18th so we can begin our homestudy. After the homestudy is complete, it is just a waiting game.

This past weekend we were out and about running our usual errands. (Walmart run!) We drove past friends of ours dumping baby items at Goodwill. We whipped the car around and they gave us two large bags full of gently used baby clothes! Sizes ranged from 3-24 months. I have more sleepers with the feet in them and onzies than I can count. They also gave us a vibrating bouncy seat in pink! We also got a pack n play from them. We felt so blessed and they were so generous in giving these items to us. They had a yard sale and these were the items that were left behind. It also worked out for them because Alicia had to bust down the garage door since Gabby locked her out of the house last week! Jorge is going to fix their door for them today!

I've been stressing out over getting the nursury prepared. I want to make sure we have the basics in place for when we get the blessed call to pick up our baby. Jorge is trying to keep me grounded, but I don't want to be rushing to find a crib, car seat, stroller, etc at the last minute. Having all of these clothes makes me feel a little better about it all. At least the poor kid will have PJ's to sleep in. The crib and all the extras will come a little at a time. Let's face it, most mom's have at least 9 months to prepare for their babies. I may have less than that or more than that. It is truly up to God. My job is to "Be still before the Lord and wait patiently for Him." Psalm 37:7

Let's face it...that's the real tough part. Jorge has been great through it all. He tells me to just be patient. Not sweat the small stuff. Great advice I know, but being the planner I am...I'm struggling! Keep us in your prayers through this journey. I know there is a little one out there waiting for us to be their forever family.
