Pregnancy of the heart

It has been a while since our last post, and a lot has happened since then. We recieved our acceptance letter from Adoption Ministries and it is safe to say, We are pregnant! Not in the physical, but in our hearts. If you have never seen a pregnant man before... get a load of Brian. Not only do we get to be pregnant together, we get to share in a seemingly identical journey of pregnancy of the heart. Weird, I know. We know we are getting a baby, we just have to wait a while...be pregnant for a while. They say it's resonable to wait six to nine months, however it could be much sooner or even a little longer. We will trust in God's timing as to when.

Also we started our homestudy today. A homestudy is when a state social worker (our's is Liane) makes a series of 3 to 4 visits to our home over the span of a month. Each time she comes she interviews Brian and I about different topics, anything from how we felt growing up to our preferences in a child or our philosphies on dicipline. Oh and they inspect our home for safety and such too. Then she compiles all she knows about us in a 50 page book and sends it to the state where a judge will give the final "seal of approval" allowing us to become parents through adoption.
