We got the first of what I am sure will be many communications today related to the adoption. Today was the "initial approval letter", and although I'm pretty sure it just means they accepted your $150 application fee, and there was nothing absolutely glaring to rule you out from parenting--it still gave me butterflies. :)
Next comes the mountains of paperwork and the endless stream of fees. We are lucky in that we have been blessed enough with two jobs to support our family comfortably, but God will have to provide the kind of resources necessary to make this happen quickly. All told, this could cost around $28,000 and that's a conservative estimate. So, I guess prayer & trust will be my two mantras for the next 12 months. And I think that is just the way God has planned it.
