Well, we are happy to say that we passed through our screening interview with flying colors. We arrived at the agency and sat in their cute little office. I met Linda, the perky receptionist. She's as perky in person as she is on the phone. Sally, the social worker, greeted us and led us back to her office. She had pictures of her family (her husband and two boys) on the table. We sat down and she ran through the details from the agency's end of things. She asked us questions. One of the questions was to describe each other with 3 words. Shane rambled on past the 3 words. She said she always lets the husbands gush a bit. We decided that we would be a good fit for the agency and then we began to sign papers. It felt like we were closing on a house or something. She gave us a packet of paperwork.
We are now on Phase 3 of 5 phases. In phase 3 we must complete 21 hrs. of training, a home study and inspection, and a 6 page autobiography. We also have additional paperwork to complete. Shane is very organized and meticulous, so we have about 2/3 of the paperwork done already. That's why it's taken me so long to blog. I'm pooped. I guess I feel tired just like any other mother to be. The magic number for this adoption is $15,050. Please pray specifically for this number. We know that God is able to supply all our needs with this process!

Congratulations of reaching phase 3, each step a day closer to having that precious little one that the Lord has hand picked for you! We are so excited for you both and we are lifting you up in prayer. We are honored that you are sharing this journey with us. Blessings - Greg, Susan, Ryan and Reid
I sure will pray! That is a big number (that's basically my tuition for two years at Towson). God will provide.
Congratulations on getting to phase 3, that's a wonderful milestone! I knew you both would get to that point.
I like the title of the blog by the way, it's cute. ;-)
Love in Christ,
Dori
