This has all been such a blessing really. I remember how crushed I was when we found out that I had PCOS and would have to take infertility treatments if I had any hope of getting pregnant. It seems the entire time we were trying to get pregnant in the first place it was one big frustration after another. I felt initially that the struggle was God slamming a large door in our faces. We had no idea that God would then turn around and knock a wall out instead of simply opening a window. I guess we needed to just shut up and be patient (or I needed to shut up and be patient at the very least!). The entire process thus far has run smoothly, and though the knowledge that we can't both adopt our child/children still stings, we know that there will come a day when that will change and we can both be listed as legal parents to our child/children. For now though, I'm grateful that we are able to be on this journey to family.

One Step Closer!
Mama S got the call today that we have been waiting for. Our background checks have both come back clear and our file has been compiled. The person in charge of the placement department called and told her that he was sending over our paperwork today to be assigned a case worker and that we would hear from our case worker in 2 weeks!!! If our county truly only takes 45-60 days to complete Home Studies, that means we could be totally done with ours by the end of February...maybe even earlier!! WOW!!! I'm totally flabbergasted!!! I keep wanting to pinch myself to check and see if this is really happening. We started the adoption journey September 23rd (when I placed the call in to see where to start) and here we are on December 10th about to begin our Home Study. It's just incredible!
