We got an email from our Document Dude on Tuesday (9.13.22) saying they had all the required documents and we are ready to go active!
We’re currently under final review and then we get assigned a consultant who we’ll work closely with during this next season of looking at cases (situations) and choosing a baby.
When we started the paperwork in mid-May, I was committed to getting the paperwork done as quickly as possible. My goal was to be completely done and go active by Paisley’s birthday (the end of September), but I held that desire loosely, unsure of the process and / or roadblocks that could surface.
I’m writing this now in awe. We began the paperwork on May 16th and received the email on September 13th that we are ready to go active. I am wowed by God’s timing through this.
Was the paperwork a bumpy road? Yes.
Was it an exhausting season? Yes.
Did I learn a ton? Yes.
Was it worth it? Of course!
Now, we’re transitioning to our next chapter – the one where we are active. Where we receive cases, pray, make choices, present ourselves and pray some more. And who knows how long this chapter will take. It could take days, it could take months. But we are confident God has the perfect baby for us. We are holding tight to His word, His voice & His direction.
