Inch by inch...

Inch by inch, slowly but surely, we are moving along with our adoption. We finally got our fingerprints and background check application in the mail!  On a side note, am I the only one who thought police and sheriffs still made fingerprints the old fashioned way like they do in movies? You know, pressing your finger onto a big ink pad and then stamping it down on paper. Well, I was wrong! lol Who would've thought that they have caught up with the times like the rest of the world! lol! FYI, fingerprints are now done by a computer for those of you wondering.  ;)  Anyways, we would have mailed them last week, but as I was walking out the door to mail them, I realized we needed to make a copy of the background check application and send it to Lifeline as well. So, finally copies were made and then to the post office we headed. This is the first "big" step which comes right along with our first "big" payment. We are trusting in the Lord's provision here people! :) Next on the list is a phone conference with Lifeline, and scheduling our first homestudy. So, yes we are moving along with the process- a little more slowly than we would like, but that is just the way it seems to be falling. It's all good! You know why? Because God is All good, All the time! We are happy to move through our adoption process a little slowly if that is where God wants us to be.  However, if it's still going slowly 6 months or a year from now check back with me. I might then be struggling with contentment and patience! haha ;)



Our fingerprints and some paperwork.



Paperwork on it's way to Lifeline. Yep, that's my little buddy not wanting to have anything to do with looking at the camera. Pretty typical these days :)
