Meeting #2

We had our second home study meeting this past Friday between celebrating Luke's actual birthday and the Saturday spoil day that I had planned for him.
The meeting, again, went very well and was around 2 hours. This time we split up and each met with Walt for about an hour to go over our autobiographies and provide further details into our histories. Much like writing the autobiography itself, I found it to be a ton of fun with the different old memories that were brought up by the questioning.
We have been given a little more homework of things to think through and organize before our next meeting. One of his main points of concern is where we are with the funding. I was a little disappointed at his reaction because I thought we have done really well. (over half way there) But the agency is not able to place a child if we don't have the full last payment at the time of placement. Since we have very few restrictions on the child that we would be willing to take, we will most likely have a shorter wait time (Lord willing!!). His concern has increased ours, so please forgive us if you see several updates on fundraising activities in the near future.
As soon as the home study is completed we can begin to apply for grants and things. We are trusting the Lord's timing, but also trying to be proactive about getting applications as filled out as possible for submission as soon as the approved home study documents are received.

We will have our last home study meeting with Walt in 2 weeks (again on a Friday afternoon).

As always, thank you for your prayers!! They are certainly felt.
