Next Thursday is our visit from the social worker to complete our Home Study. We have had lots of home work, (paperwork and updates to our home) to get ready for this. We already have health exam info on both children now. Please pray for them as we are. We just received a clean bill of health on Alexander and a more recent picture of him and are very excited about this. As someone from our adoption class asked, "isn't it painful to see the faces of your children and not be able to hold them?". How can you wait that long knowing they are somewhere else. We are offering up all this type of pain and suffering for the beterment of the children where they are in the orphanage and for this process to be completely in God's hands. Seeing their faces helps Ken and I focus on getting the next step done. We are thankful to God for this opportunity. Thank you for your prayers for our family.
