So as I read thru the homestudy I finally understand why she our social worker needed so much info from us. She did not use every bit of it in the homestudy but bits and pieces of it, Basically she wrote our life story out, and its sorta neat to read your lifes story, it will be nice for the kids to have when they are old. Wish I had something like that from my parents. Ok so don't get me wrong it was a lot of overwhelming work but I find myself looking back on it with a smile. Like "oh it wasn't so bad," sorta like when you are pregnant and get thru the first 3 months of morning sickness and stuff, but you look back and it wasn't so bad. As I do look back I think about all the things Mike and I did together and I can find fun in everything we did. It was nice doing things together getting fingerprints,passports,shrink visit,Dr visit,getting our marriage certificate and all of our birth certificates, going to the SS office to get our SS cards, going to the bank to get things notarized and even getting blood taken together. I can honestly say I look back at each one with a smile. I didn't think that Mike and I could love eachother anymore then we already did. But all of this we have done for the adoption has given me new eyes for my husband, I see how strong he is and how he will do what ever it takes to bring our 7th child home and into our arms. I am so very proud of my husband when I hear him talk about the adoption to others or when he talks about Josiah. I can say that I have found a new love for my husband thru this, and I know we will have many more adventures together before and after Josiah is home, but I know we will get thru them and look back on each one with a smile as long as we do them together and as long as we let the Lord guide our steps.
