So, we got a package in the mail today! It contained our "Certificate of Adoption Approval"!!! This was amazing to receive and a bit scary all at the same time. Over Memorial Day weekend we completed all 10 hours of our Hague Training, what a task that was. It was really good to learn about attachment issues as well as some of the other developmental issues we might be facing. Knowledge is always good but in this case I felt that it really put some fears behind me.
We were at "gotcha" party for a friend that adopted a little one from Russia last year and it was amazing what we saw. There were at least 4 other adopted children and we could actually identify some of the things we had learned about in some of the kids. Truly amazing!
We now have a few fees to pay and then our CIS approval to get back and then we will be "paper ready" and be in the "Que".
Little Man:
I can't wait to have a party for you. I am already so very proud and everyone and I mean everyone is asking about you. We talk about everything we are going to do together and all the fun times teaching you about the outdoors, sports and all the other "boy" things as your Mom likes to say. Grandma, well we can't decide if that is what we are going to call her, has already started buying you toys - she is so excited! We love you so much and I can't wait to see you!

Wow! My husband and I will be praying for you as you wait for your little guy. We adopted our little girl from Russia about 2 1/2 years ago. She is the biggest blessing to us.
We will pray that all goes well.
All for Jesus,
Julie
