She has been such a wonderful blessing to Tyler and I. It has been a joy to watch her grow from puppy to now.

Well it was quite a weekend. I got to spend time with my kids and realized that they will all be moving up to a new classroom in June. Which means, I'll be getting a whole new group of kids. Yikes?! Overall though it was a good weekend. Nice to get back into the swing of things after having a weekend off. I do enjoy being home in our house. So I am really considering getting my broker license. I love house hunting and finding our home was a joyous occasion for me. I'd love to help others find their home. So please pray with me to have God show me that this is what I need. Who knows where this may lead.

On May 10th 2017, Tyler and I officially became "paper pregnant"!!!! Too bad it's not guaranteed to be 9 months long. So what actually occurs at this point!?!!??! We welcome our social worker into our home for 3 to 4 visits that include an overview of the house, and interviews of myself and Tyler together and separately. The paper portion is a collection of items that we must gather slowly and during specified times throughout the process.

The home study has been called the "most invasive" or "lengthy" portion of the adoption process. It is hard to let a complete  stranger into your home to essentially judge you in a good way. After all, pr...

Lately, I've been working on collecting paperwork to apply to the Indian govt. for OCI in lieu of PIO and renunciation. Basically the PIO/OCI is a visa that can be used for travel and it states that I'm of Indian heritage which would allow us to adopt a "healthy" baby that is younger than a year old. Let's note that Tyler and I are open to any child up to the age of five who may or may not have minor/correctable needs....this visa tho IF approved will just give us a wider net. While I was home I was able to find my Indian passport, and was just so cool to see in person. I've made several scans of it, but like my current passport it too has to leave my possession for processing by the Indian Embassy. It's so hard to let go of two major important pieces of information...one that is a part of my beginning, my adoption story, my history, and the other that is current. I know that the embassy is familiar with handling important documents, but still I have an...
