First of all, who wouldn't want to adopt a child when you're husband looks so cute interacting with one of his favorite little boys!!Last Monday was our appointment with the lawyer. Today I am waiting around for a contractor to show up and give us an estimate on some work we need done around our house. Lots of things to get ready here at the Tiki Lodge. Saturday night we had some friends over for supper and cleared the back bedroom so kids could have a place to play, I could really see the potential of that room and cannot wait to turn it into a child's nursery/bedroom. If we can get some work done on our storeroom so it is dry during the rainy season, we can finally store things there instead of the back bedroom. I think with a little elbow grease and some paint, that baby is going to have a cute room! I"m thinking owls!
Over the weekend, we asked several people to be our references for the home study. It was hard to choose because we have a lot of people who want to vouch for us. I am thankful for all the people we have in our lives who have been an encouragement to us.
In small group on Wednesday night, we asked people to pray for us and everyone involved in this process. When we mentioned it, one of the ladies in the group said she knew of another couple in the church who had chosen to add to their family through adoption and thought she could maybe hook us up with them. Again, last night at our friends Halloween party, we met another couple pursuing an international adoption in Korea. They are further along in their paperwork and are more in a waiting phase. It's funny how once the subject is out in the open people come out of the woodwork who have gone through the same thing.
