Adoption Update- March 2009

It has been awhile since my last update because nothing was really going on. Our home study had been turned into state dhr and we were just waiting to be approved. We recieved a letter today saying that we are lacking 2 things in our home study and we have to submit those things before we can be approved.
The first thing we need to submit is our current car insurance. What is frustrating is that this is the 3rd card we will have sent them. It keeps expiring waiting on the process to finish. Our finished home study was turned in during January and our car insurance didn’t expire until the end of February. We are faxing it to the social worker asap.
The other thing that they need is even more frustrating. It appears we have to be certified in CPR/First Aid. I don’t have a problem being certified. My problem is that during our classes we were told that we only had to be certified if we were going to do foster care. They said adoptive parents didn’t have to be certified. I’m frustrated because I could’ve gotten it out of the way months ago, had I known. As it stands, we are signed up for a class on March 28th. As soon as that is done we should be ready for approval.
Please pray for us that we have no more bumps in the road. The process is hard enough to navigate without extra worries. I know everything happens for a reason and God will use this all for my good. Please pray that we don’t get discouraged. Have a great week and be blessed!
