We had the long awaited phone call to answer if we had to work with 1 or 2 agencies to bring home Joy from Ghana. The answer is 1 agency will be enough and that translates into a lot of money saved!!! We started to inquire about Beacon House and Ghana in December and we will finally be getting started officially. The package from Adoption Alliance is in the mail and we should receive it any day. This package will contain the formal application,fees schedule, application for state of Colorado clearance, application to be get an inviation for Federal digital fingerprints, child abuse clearance forms, and many other important other papers. Then we will start on the homestudy, the visits, and all the questions. It should be a breeze, but it is hard to tell a stranger everything past and present. The kids very stressed to answer questions and talk to a stranger. All these steps to bring a child home that her parents abandoned into the hands of strangers. What a crazy world that we live in. Luckily with everything here at home 4 children, fulltime work outside the home,and all details of every day life I don't have much time to obsess on how long each adoption step takes. I had plenty of time with this before Elijah and Sneha came home, but not now. WE ONLY HAVE ONE CHANCE IN THIS LIFE SO WE MUST BE INTENTIONAL EACH AND EVERY DAY!!!!
Here are some photos that I thought were lost from our 2009 India trip and I found CD's and copied them to the computer. I am so thankful that they weren't lost.
