Happy Friday Blog-Reading Peeps!!! It has been a couple weeks since we last met so I thought an update was needed. Our next step after our orientation was to get fingerprinted so we went on 10/21 to Charleston to have this completed. Of course, as with everything with us, it was an adventure. We ended up having to take a detour because of an accident on the Interstate--good thing we left early!! We drove back roads through Summerville and found "the Kickin' Chickin" (more on that in a moment) and eventually the Interstate again. We made our way to Ashley Phosphate Road to get the prints completed. I think Rob was planning to have to wash his hands repeatedly to get black ink off of them after the prints but we would up using a scanner type machine to get them completed---technology is amazing. After the prints, we headed back to the Kickin' Chicken and dined on some delicious hot pimento cheese dip and scrumptious wings!!!--obviously we recommend going there!!!
So, fast forward to today. We have completed the stack of paperwork to include financial statements, autobiographies, our life history, our parents life history, a detailed fire evacuation plan for our house, and more!!!! Tonight we went and picked up the last piece of the packet to send off and that was two pictures of us and two of our house. All of this is now tucked away in a big manilla envelope, sealed and ready to be delivered to the St. Matthews Post Office Monday morning.
So what do we do next???...... attend (and successfully pass---ha ha, wonder if there is a test on parenting???) two Foundations Classes and get our medical forms completed.
Everything is falling into place and there have been no hurdles or speed bumps thus far to get over. We know it will come a time when PATIENCE will be tested to the fullest and of course we know that God is with us the entire way.
Oh and one more tid-bit for this blog, this is a fantastic month because its National Adoption Awareness Month. :O)
More to come.....
Jill
