Dossier sent

So today is an update on our adoption. Our dossier has been sent to Ethiopia. Some of you may read dossier and wonder what that is. I would do the same if i was not adopting and have no clue of the process. The dossier is a huge packet of information about you and why you want to adopt. It is our home study, pictures of our family, our house, letters of reference, government background checks and criminal background checks. A lot of information that is used to help match us up with a child. But really it is actually God matching us up with a child. Some of you have asked, "so now what?" Now we pray for our child, we pray for God to work in us as a family to prepare ourselves for the new phase of our journey. And we wait for God to pick our child. We are also writing grant letters to help with the financial aspect of the adoption, our God is a BIG God and he as confirmed so many times in us that we need to continue in Faith and that is what we are trying to do. We would appreciate your prayers for the child, for our patience and for God to work in us but also our family as we prepare to change the look of our family a little but, even though the outside of our child may be different than us he or she is still made in the image of God. We are all made int he image of God.
