On Monday we had our home study visit with our adoption agency and they are about ready to submit to the state....That was way faster than we thought but we aren't complaint...btw for all of you out there that are reading this please know that even though we haven't been technically re-certified by the state yet we can still be picked by a birth mom....how you may ask?...well she would have to designate us...meaning our case worker would know that she wants us to be the parents of her baby...When we first went through this process a few years ago we didn't know this until I went to an adoption class where there was this couple that weren't even in the process of certifying but had a birthmother choose them and then they were just beginning their process with LDS Family...I am not sure if they were expedited a bit or not but i so that would have made sense. So with this you can see why we are getting the word out to everyone that WE WANT TO ADOPT!!!
This past week I was released from my calling as a primary worker (I was a sunbeam teacher- 3 yr olds) at church and was called as a Sunday School teacher. The Church is implementing a new program for the youth called
Come Follow Me for this coming year. I am really excited about this! I have felt like these kids many times and as I have learned more about this new way of teaching and learning I have felt that this is exactly where I am supposed to be serving for sure!
