- 4 Post-Placement reports done at 3 months, 6 months, 9 months, and 12 months after you are home with your children
- Fufill State Re-adoption requirements and acquire State birth certificate
We have already completed our first post-placement. We have yet to turn in our second which was due in December; the holidays thru us off. Hopefully, we will get that completed this month.
We have our court date for re-adoption in the state of Mississippi on January 16th! We are excited about that! However, it is going to cost us about $1000 bucks. What stinks about this is that some states actually let you file for it (whatever, the technical term is) yourself, and you avoid lawyer fees, etc. Not in Mississippi! But let me tell you about my Daddy--He always provides, and I'm not talking about my earthly father...which I think he would if I came right out and asked him directly for money...BUT God knows before we do what we need; and He provides a way. Most of you know I am working a second job at the hospital, and can be very exhausting and emotionally draining, however thru helping people I was able to gross what we needed to pay for fees...now after Uncle Sam took his cut, we are just a few hundred shy, but we will have it; because my Daddy is King of the Universe! And...well, I am His Princess! And these are His children, too...I was telling someone in the adoption circle that God is not going to bring us into the desert and leave us...He will always provide for His children...usually not in ways we expect, but He is faithful! So, these are part of my Forever Blessings that await in 2008!
I can't wait to share what the Lord will do in our life this year with you, and look forward to hearing your testimonies as well! God is good!!!

Amen to that! Isn't AWESOME how God provides! It's the same with us...God has provided for us the entire way. Even when we were blessed with Asher...God is in all of this and I wouldn't change the past or how we got here for anything!
On a side note, in AZ we don't have to have a lawyer. The trade off is w/o a lawyer it can extend the court date 3-6 months.
I just love how you put that:
"because my Daddy is King of the Universe! And...well, I am His Princess!"
That's awesome. And thanks for always being SO encouraging!
peace and blessings,

God will come through - he is faithful! You will feel so good when all the paperwork is finally done - or, if you're like me- you won't know what to do with yourself!!
