I thought this picture of Christina "jumpin' for joy" was a fitting feeling. So happy to say that we've completed our home study paperwork and sent it off to our social worker a couple of days ago! Now we wait for the home study approval, finish our step 1 dossier compilation and we will be ready to submit our dossier to Taiwan! I think we'll be ready to do that in the next 3 weeks or so. On an earlier post, I did say that maybe I was dreaming when hoping to have our dossier ready to submit in 2 months, but I wasn't too far off. It will be just a couple weeks longer... I think. I work only part time, (guaranteed 2 days per week), but God has been blessing me with an extra day (or sometimes two) of work every week that I can put directly into our adoption account. So it will be such a relief to get this first major chunk accomplished! Just keep at it steadily. Then we will enter the waiting period.....
Proverbs 21:5 Good plans and hard work lead to prosperity, but hasty shortcuts lead to poverty.
Another step closer! It feels good to accomplish those little steps, that in the end make a huge difference.

If theere's one thing I learned, and wish I had remembered along the way is to have no expectations. Remind yourself that His plan is never to harm, and never forget that it's all in His time. My journey to Gracyn brought me closer to our Heavenly Father in so many ways. . .please don't be a stranger! I'll be following along as you journey to your next blessing!
