Still Waiting. . .

I know many of you have been checking in to see if there is any word on our adoption so I thought I would post an update. . . but unfortunately we have nothing to update!

When I was pregnant with all three of my biological children, they all arrived much later than their due dates.  In fact, I was pregnant a total of 38 days longer than I should have been.  So, it should come as no surprise that our adopted daughter is following that same pattern.  We were told to expect a period of 6-10 weeks before we hear if we are officially approved as the parents of DJ.  Next week Thursday it will be 12 weeks that we have been waiting.  So if the 10-14 days overdue pattern continues, we should be hearing something this week.  At least we pray that will be the case.

Thanks for checking in and we hope to have some good news soon.

Jumped Another Hurdle

We got another good piece of news yesterday. . . We have officially been approved by the US to adopt!!!  My lack of fingerprints has not delayed us too much in the process for which we are very grateful.  Now we wait for the final and most important hurdle. . .permission from the Philipine government to adopt our daughter.  Every time the phone rings there are always butterflies in my stomach as I answer hoping and hoping that it might be our social worker with some good news. 

We continue to pray for the process & adoption board as we await their decision and for DJ who still has no idea that there is a family out there who is trying to adopt her.  We also continue to prepare the kids at home for the addition of a new sister into the family.  If you feel led to pray for us and this adoption journey, we would be so grateful.

With anticipation,
Jenn
