*Faxed in our first forms to our team of helpers (CSP and POA)
*Bryan is getting his employment verification and our home ownership docs done at the bank
*Our passports are done, expedited, and we are waiting for them to arrive here within 3 weeks
*Fingerprinting is slated for next week (following a missed appointment this week because I, um, went to the wrong place to get them done. I know. Even with the TomTom that Bryan gave me for Christmas because I am FOREVER lost, I can't even get to the right place.)
*My appointment for my medical evaluation is on February 2nd- I had to find a new doctor because of my new insurance (and frankly, I haven't had a primary care physician in like 6 years because every other year I've had a baby and have seen enough of the inside of doctor offices thankyouverymuch).
*OH- and our first appointment for our Home Study is Feb 3rd!!
A lot of the paperwork is waiting on our passport numbers, so there isn't a whole lot more that we can do at this point except for lining everything up so it is ready to go when the time is right.
What I am spending a bunch of time doing is wondering what our boy is doing without us. At noon, I wonder what he is having for lunch, if he is sitting next to a friend, and if he likes what he eats. I wonder all the time what his days are like, and if he has any inkling that he has 3 brothers here and and mommy and a daddy who cannot WAIT to have him home.
I can only compare this to the 9 month wait that you have when you are pregnant...wondering what your child is going to be like when he/she grows up...but instead of rubbing my little belly bump (because, of course, all that's there is a washboard stomach- HA!), Danil is out there NOW without me. It is the weirdest feeling, to be so connected to him already...an adoption umbilical cord, if you will.
Hi! I just wanted to introduce myself. I'm Renee, and I've been Danil's prayer warrior through Reece's Rainbow for the last six months. He is so beautiful! I love the new picture you have of him on the first page of your blog. I'm am so thankful for your family. I will continue praying for all of you as you embark on this wonderful journey. I can't wait to follow along and see this precious child come home. God bless you! Please let me know if there is anything I can do!!
ReplyDeleteHi Renee!!! Your prayers worked!!!! Love that you are here following Danil's journey :)
ReplyDeletesounds like what we have been up too around here! I totally agree with the last paragraph....it is crazy how you can feel so connected without even meeting them yet. It is very hard to not know how they are doing or if they are healthy or safe. THank goodness for peace from our Savior to get us through!
