Bit More Paperwork Completed

We turned our last packet of paperwork in today. J from our agency told us not to start gathering documents for the home study just yet. Apparently many of the documents needed for Vietnam expire in 6 mos, so in order to save us both time & money she said to wait and gather them when they see more referrals coming in.
I trust her and appreciate her honesty. I sure do not want to redo and repay for documents. We are going to proceed with getting our fingerprints Saturday because they are good for 15 mos and surely we will have a referral within 15 mos.
I also got to thinking that if there are alot of families requesting a girl then we may move up the waiting list pretty quick. The one thing I am sure of is that God is in control of this adoption and we will get a referral only when he wants us too.

Brent........My Son

When I think about Brent I want to tear up. My son the man, my son the boy.
From the very first day that we brought Chloe home she attached herself to her big brother. I can remember her taking a 3 hour nap on his belly that first day home.
They have been inseperable every since. This 18 year old that puts her in the jeep and takes her to Zaxby's or Chick Fil A, just the two of them. The big brother that is planning on paying about 150 bucks to get a custom car seat for his 69 Camaro.
The big brother that had to get a father's day present when we was shopping for her daddy because she thought Brent had to have a gift too. My son that came to me late one night and laid at the foot of my bed and said, "Mom we have got to adopt again, we just have too." Not knowing that at that very minute when he walked into my room I was praying about adopting from Vietnam. I shared with him that night my desires and my fears and concerns about money and he said "we are going to do it, let's go talk to dad." Chloe & I love you Brent!
