I cannot deny that I am looking forward to being done with the paperwork of adoption, but at the same time its all a part of this pregnancy...paper pregnancy that is. I am being told on a regular basis by those that have adopted to be patient with every step of the process. I have to say as in my other two pregnancies that I went through some of the same things. I am dying to shop for crib bedding, and other baby odds and ends, but without knowing the sex of the baby I'm not sure what I want to buy.
I've been researching all of the new baby stuff (its been a while since I had an infant in the house), and I am surprised by some of the products on the market. Boogie wipes??? Back when I had Brianna that was either a wet wipe, or a burp cloth. Pee Pee Tee Pee?? REALLY??? Some of this stuff is just way to funny for words. My personal favorite was a crib for $4,000...Someone obviously has more sense than money!!! All in all though it has been fun looking and making my baby wish lists.
Brian and I are wading through this paperwork together and sometimes it just sucks and then sometimes it is fun like when they ask you questions like, "How do you get along with your in-laws?" or the questions about your sex life, or "What are your spouses strengths? Weaknesses?". I swear every couple who is having a baby should have to answer these questions. They really get you thinking, and in my case appreciating what a wonderful man I am married to.
Anyway, so here is where we are at. We will be done with our homestudy meetings AND home inspection by May 31st, then it will have to be written up...THEN we will really need your prayers as we apply for grants and try to get financially creative in order to bring our pumpkin home.
God is good, and as always is faithful to the Call Family.
