Thus Far

We started the process in September. At the time, I thought we would get started quickly and be well on our way by Christmas. Well, things didn't quite work out that way, but we know God's timing is perfect, so we are trusting in Him.

Thus far, we have been working on all the mounds of paper work for our home study(fingerprinting, autobiographies, DCFS Foster Family certification, adoption parenting classes, etc.) As of now we are waiting for our home study to be completed. We are projecting it to be completed sometime in January. Once this is done we have to get our dossier together. We are currently working on this now and hope for this to be turned in sometime in January as well. The dossier is all the information about us that goes to the country of Kazakhstan. Once Kazakhstan gets this information we are officially "in the running" for a child. When we started this program in September the wait time was 4-6 months. Unfortunately, because of the popularity of the program (and the closures of others), the time has increased to 10-15 months. So, as you can guess we are itching to get this dossier done. However, there are a lot of things that still need to be done. We will keep you updated! Please keep us in your prayers that we stay patient and filled with faith. We hope everyone had a great Christmas and blessings for your new year!
