It's been a while since we've posted to this blog. May 2008 is when we first started in our process of adoption with Catholic Social Services. At times we have been hopeful, but lately just mostly frustrated. Thankfully God knows what we need and has placed people in our lives when we needed it most. Walter has a co-worker who shared her adoption story with us recently and through that sharing, we feel we are being led in a different direction. We have decided to pursue a different avenue towards adoption. We had a conference call a few weeks ago with an adoption attorney from Greenville, SC. He has been working with adoptive families and birth parents for over 20 years. He and his wife also adopted their own children and are therefore very invested in helping couples. We have completed the initial intake form and the next steps are to send him our home study (which is due to be updated), a retainer fee, and our portfolio.
Please continue to hold us in your prayers, in the midst of all of this we are also trying to sell our house and buy a bigger one so we'll be ready when we finally bring home our daughter or son.
