Just a quick update. We signed the home visit papers today!!! We're very excited about this. One step closer to getting our boy if the Lord wills it.

The next step is having the papers translated, getting our criminal record papers done, and then we send them all in to the agency. We're still hoping it won't be too long from now that we get to send them in to the agency, but you just never know with these things.

Please continue to pray for us in this process, but most of all, pray for "our" boy in Uganda. Our hearts desire is that he would be as excited about us as we are about him, and that the Lord is already preparing him for this upcoming change. We know that we still have a long way to go, but we're just walking as the Lord is leading. We're very thankful for His leading, and thankful that He's with us every step of the way.

Much love and thank you all again for the prayers.

Well...the second home visit went well. They were very nice, and gave us a lot of information and things to think about. It was very strange though, because they had a very worldly view on it (of course). It was hard to answer some of the questions they were asking. Things like: "why would you want to adopt an older child?", or "Why Uganda?". We couldn't just answer them by saying "because the Lord is moving us in that direction". They have many concerns about us adopting a 15 year old from Africa as well. They think it's going to be VERY hard, and that it may not be a good idea. But again, we know that the Lord is the One Who is leading this and we have a total peace about moving forward. We of course didn't say all of that to them, but tried to be open about our faith as much as they would let us...ha ha.

All in all, we're pleased with how it went. We're confident that we'll be able to move forward in the process, and we should be sending off the paper work very soon. We're hoping as soon as next week, but we'll see. That of course is what we're hoping, but God's timing in perfect, so it's up to Him. We'll see what He allows.

Thank you all again for the prayers and support. It's so great to have you all with us in this. I know we couldn't be this strong without the prayers from everyone. Thank you so much for joining us in the process. We love and appreciate you all. 

Many blessing, and until next time.
