So there are a few details you might want to know about our adoption process. We are adopting an infant domestically which means from the United States. We chose to adopt domestically after a lot of time spent in prayer and researching. We found out that there is a need to adopt in the USA for families who are willing to adopt inter-racially. Often times when non white birth-mothers try to seek adoptive parents there are very few families for them to consider. We know that there is a great need for all of the many types of adoptions (ie. International, Older child, Foster to adopt, etc.). This is just where we felt God leading us.
We are about to have our first home study October 27, one week from today. This is where our social worker gets together with us to evaluate our family situation and discuss how we plan to care for our child and incorporate him or her into our family. We are excited about this, but also a little nervous. You can definitely pray for our home study. Pray that God will help us to articulate the goals and directions of our family well.
so excited for you guys!!! and I'm so glad you have a blog so we can follow along, since your North-Raleighers and all now, you know...
