Yes, I know it has been forever!! Sorry! :)

Hello everyone! I am so sorry it has taken me soooooooooooo long to do a post!! We have been so busy! At the beginning of our paper chase we had to do 4 classes for the Hague thing, and now that we are going on the waiting child list, we had to do 3 more classes, read a book and write a summary. Oh, and one of the 4 classes that we hadn't finished in the beginning had homework with it, about 45 pages of homework! So I haven't felt much like being on the computer to blog. Oh wait, did I mention that all this needed to be done before our social worker could finish writing our home study? She also can't finish it until she meets face to face with one of our references and she gets a copy of our physicals. We had our physicals done once but they are expired and now we have to do it all over again on the 30th. I pray we get our rough draft shortly after that!!!!!!!!!!!! After that is all said and done, all that will be left is our I-171H. I think! I went to several websites looking for packing lists the other night and kept coping and pasting things I wanted to remember and ended up with 17 pages of things. OOOPS!!!! :) So went through all of them and made out a list for us. If anyone has any good advise or a packing list they wouldn't mind sharing, please email me at firstsugarbear74@yahoo.com
For those of you that have my other email address, don't panic, you have the right one, I use this one for other things. Our agency has a list of babies they received from the CCAA on the waiting child list and I would really love it if Hope would be on that list but I am not getting my hopes up too high! I don't think that is very realistic to be thinking she is but God has worked bigger miracles than that in our lives so I wouldn't be completely shocked if she was! I just keep reminding myself that God sees the big picture that I have no clue of and that He knows the exact moment Hope will be placed in my arms. Wow, for the first time in a REALLY LONG time can I say that with complete peace! And also find joy in knowing that He is in control and not me!!!! Thank you Lord!!!! Ok, I think I have went on long enough. I don't think there is any other news. I would be grateful if you would keep us in your prayers about our family trusting the Lord COMPLETELY during this process. And that I would not be so easily distracted by the world and would keep my eyes on my Savior!!
Grace & Peace to you all!!
