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!
