Adoption Update

So far we have been working on this adoption process since October when we began the training classes with United Methodist Family Services (UMFS). We received a referral in November for a sibling group that is in the same county as us! A referral means that the kids social worker is interested in our family adopting this sibling group. Things have moved kinda slow since then but I am confident that this is God's perfect timing as evidenced by our unexpected move! I was so excited when we received this referral since I had already met the oldest sibling of the group at a school picnic for all the deaf kids. He is 13 and deaf. He has two siblings (twins), age 9 a brother and sister. I can't give too much information about them just yet since its a small world around here. But I can tell you that our HOME STUDY IS FINISHED! AND.... this week February 11th they will have an official meeting to discuss making the referral an official match. From there we would be able to read all the kids files and start transitioning them into our home. I am getting really nervous just like anyone else expecting 3 KIDS AT ONE TIME! We are thrilled at this new chapter in our journey! Love you all! Jennifer
