I am thankful for God placing adoption in my life. I have just completed yet one more piece of paperwork tonight. Homestudy- done, waiting on the final paperwork in the mail. I-800A just finished filling out all of that paperwork and will mail it once I receive my homestudy. Now it's dossier and grant writing time! I am so thankful God has placed adoption on my heart! Hopefully this time next year I will be sharing Thanksgiving dinner with my son or daughter and making a special Peruvian dish with him/her:) My heart is smiling big! This journey truly began when I was young as I knew one day I wanted to adopt. Just a little over 2 yrs ago while in Nicaragua on a missions trip God showed me that it was time. My first application was mailed to my adoption agency in August of last year. I'm getting closer!
Yesterday I went Black Friday Christmas shopping with my sister Chrissy. Last year she shared a wonderful book with me and encouraged me to buy it for my child, keeping it until he/she comes home. On Christmas morning I read that book while sitting on his/her bed and then prayed a prayer for my child. Now this year it became official, it's now my tradition for my child. While Black Friday Christmas shopping I bought a second book for my child and will once again read it while sitting on his/her bed and say a prayer for my child on Christmas morning. I am so thankful for even the little things that are preparing me to become a mom. I am also so thankful for all of my family, friends and strangers who become friends that are supporting me along this blessed journey!

National Adoption Month
Wow, I guess it's been a while since I have posted anything so I have a lot of info to give to chatch everyone up on what's been going on. As I think about today, November 1st- the beginning of National Adoption Month I am overwhelmed with feelings of joy, anxiety, greatfulness, worry, and thankfullness just to name a few. I am amazied at how God has so graciously blessed me with longing to adopt. I am so thankful for all of you who have prayed, and prayed some more, donated countless dollars and time to help fundraise those dollars. So many people have been walking this adoption journey with me, you will never know how much that really touches me to know that you are helpin g bring my child home.
I am about to have my last homestudy visit and have now begun working on my dossier. That means I have started the next step of the mountain of paperwork for Peru to approve me to adopt and love one of their precious kiddos, oh and BECOME A MAMMA:)
