All Systems Go

We have some very exciting news to share with all of you- this past week our home study was finally completed and approved!!! What this means is simply that we have checked all of the boxes that qualifies us to be able to adopt. We now send our home study and application to the U.S. Government for approval, so that after its approval we can send it to Haiti to be approved and put in the queue to adopt a child.

While this feels like we crossed a finish line, the truth is that it really is only the beginning. It is like we are preparing for a launch into space and we have just gotten done with all of our system checks, the engine is ready, the astronauts are set, and all of the pieces are in place before the launch of something big. But for us, instead of having a system clearance and move into launch, it is like a system clearance, start the engine, and wait a year…or 2….or 5.

Nevertheless, we made a big step towards our

adoption. We are that much closer to bringing our child home. Let’s get this engine off the ground!
