Well, Little One, you are way loved! There are so many safeguards in place to protect you and ensure you're entering a loving, secure home. That equates to a ton of paperwork and running around on our part...and you're worth it!
I spoke with AGCI about the dossier process today and it's a bit trickier than I predicted. It's going to mean that we ask various professionals including, doctors, psychologists and employers to get paperwork notarized on their own. It means that I have to just nod my head for now, knowing I don't fully understand the process, but that the agency will hold my hand as we get the point where I need to act. It means I continue to pray, remembering that I'm not in control and it's best that way.
I'm feeling a little overwhelmed today. Our the home study requires over 20 hours of adoption education. I've taken so. many. hours. of education today and have been tested. So far I've passed 3 test and am waiting to hear back on five more. My eyes have been opened as a result of the testing and the essay-style testing. Hardcore, y'all. But it's good and I choose to remain grateful rather than view it as a barrier between bringing my little girl home...obviously I've done some reflecting and praying on this subject :) With all that said, I remain optimistic and excited!!
Little One, we went as a family to Lachlan's final horse therapy for the season today. Will you benefit from horse therapy? If so, we'll make sure you have it. If not, guess what? Our speech therapist does sibling rides and will ensure you have the chance to ride a horse if you so desire. We will make sure you have what you need to grow and thrive. And we told a bunch of family and close friends about our pursuit of you. Many people are praying for you now...please know that you are loved deeply already. We think of you an pray for you constantly. We look forward to your homecoming.
