Prelimary Paperwork

We received our preliminary paperwork packet. Once we finish filling out the paperwork they will review it and if the agency doesn't have any other questions for us we will then be asked to come in for our intake interview. An intake interview is an interview between an agency representative and the adoptive coupe (David and I) This is where we will have the opportunity to ask any questions we may have as far as adoptins go or about the homestudy. As you can see the prelimary paperwork is very extensive. I will keep you posted on our next step in the adoption journey

Birthday Poem from my daddy

Rebekah
When you were born you filled my heart with pride,
And I was overcome by the joy I felt inside.
As I held you in my arms that very first day,
I knew I would never let any harm come your way.
... With your tiny little hands and tiny little feet,
Every time I look at you my heart skips a beat.
As I watch you sleep in the middle of the night,
I hope and pray I will do everything right.
I know I may make some mistakes along the way,
But I promise to do my best not to every single day.
I often wonder what you will grow up to be,
But whatever you become will be fine with me.
So whatever you may decide to do in your life,.
I can say this without any doubt at all,
In every story you have to tell me,
In everything you do in play, In everything you dream to see,
I love you more for this each day
You are my daughter and David’s wife
I will always be there to catch you if you fall.
And another promise I make to you from me,
Daddy's little angel you will always be.
Happy Birthday
Love Dad

Informational Meeting with Nebraska Children's Home Society

Today we went to our informational meeting with Nebraska Children's Home Society and we are both really excited about this agency because the only fees they charge is our Time. Treasures and Talents meaning that they ask that we volunteer at their fundraisers. They feel that the number 1 client is the baby so they don't charge the birthparents or the adoptive parents.  They just as us as adoptive parents to be the best parents we can be. Today was a really encouraging day for our adoption process. I have more to say but I will have to say that on another day. Our next step is to write a letter of inent to the agency on our intentions of adopting a baby and then the next step is homefully the HomeStudy.

Its been a while

Sorry it has been a whie since I got on here. A lot to update you on.
Sadly on Sept 11, 2011 my grandmother went home to be with the LORD. I know that she is better off now and not in anymore pain but it is still hard for her to be gone. My mom flew down to see her before she left and was able to stay a week down in Florida with her brothers.

After my mom left Florida she flew here to my house and then 2 days later my dad flew in here. It was so nice to have them here for two weeks. People tell 2 weeks is a long time but those 2 weeks went by way too fast. I really enjoyed my time with my parents. I truly truly have the best parents in the world! I was busy hanging out with them. We went to the zoo, a drive through safari and even the SAC museum while they were here.

Then we were blessed to even get family pictures done while they were here. I just wish my brother and his wife were here too! Maybe I can get them to visit one day.

Prayer Request

Just a few short months ago my grandma was diagnosed with cancer. The tumor she has is inoperable so the Doctor's decided the best option for her was Chemo to shrink the tumor.

Well it turns out the chemo is making her more sick. I don't know the details of  everything. All I know is that it doesn't look promising for her. She has asked that all her children come see her. So my mom is leaving tonight and they are calling hospice on Monday.

I really really wish I can jump on a plane and go see her. I am thankful though I got to see her last summer when  I was out in Florida on business, That was just a short Saturday visit but at least it is better than nothing.

I am continuing to pray for her health and strength. My God is bigger and better than any Dr and I know he is a healing God. I know He can heal her if it is in his will so at this point I am praying for the LORD's will. I want to be selfish and want Him to heal her. But if that is not what he wants than there is nothing I can do about it. I just know she has other great grandkids to meet in the future.

I just ask that you pray for her and her condition
