Well Team, after a couple of weeks of emailing the agency for a file update we were assigned an actual case worker! Then we waited for a couple more weeks for him to call as we weren't given any contact info yet.
Luke go the call last Thursday night and we were able to schedule our first home study meeting (the one in our home) for Monday February 8th. Yes, that's right, we had the first meeting this evening!
It went well and was not stressful at all. He gave us a little bit of homework regarding some parts of our file that he needs additional detail on, but for the most part it was a really easy meeting.
Our second meeting will consist of individual interviews with Walt and the third will be all together again. We are required to wait at least a week between each of the meetings. The last two meetings will be in a more central location as he lives 45+ minutes from our home.
After these 3 meetings he will write up our final home study and we will meet with the agency's founder, Doris, within a month of that. Then we will be available online for mothers to see as a waiting family!
It seems so close and yet so far all at the same time!
This past weekend we had a spur of the moment date. We spent the time reflecting on our childhoods and what we want to provide in the lives of our children. It was pretty surreal to have that discussion knowing that we're almost to the point where we could meet our child literally any day. I am so grateful that I can look forward to that day with a longing that brings more than pain. Our God has been so faithful and gracious to change my heart and turn it back toward Him. I don't know that I could have enjoyed this time of waiting in this way just a couple of years ago.
Thank you all for your prayers, keep them coming!
