Homestudy Complete - Sorta :)

We had our homestudy Saturday. The social worker was really nice. Mostly she just interviewed us. She gave us her checklist for what she'll be looking for as far as the house is concerned, and will be coming back on the 22ND.

Basically she said that as long as the house was in order she had no concerns. Because of the wide age range we have (newborn through 12) she said we would be getting plenty of calls. Oh, and by the way, we can expect to start getting calls somewhere around the middle of December to early January! That is both scary and exciting to us. It's funny because we've been working toward this goal since April and it's really just starting to hit us: we're going to have kids in our house. We're going to be responsible for being their role model, feeding them nutritious meals, screening their television time, disciplining them and most importantly: introducing them to Jesus. I hope we're up for this!

I still haven't talked to D, G&S's great grandmother yet. I feel very conflicted about this whole situation.... Part of me wonders if maybe they weren't adopted by the foster family so that we could adopt them. But then logic takes hold: can we handle THREE KIDS? (Shoot, can we even handle one? Will we have a clue?) Where will the little girl sleep? We only have one bedroom. We would have to transition them into a new town, new schools, new church, new doctors, new therapists. Oh yeah, and new parents! My heart just aches for these three, and their great grandmother, who is constantly praying for these precious children to find a good Christian home to grow up in.

Greg and I want to be in God's will. Now we just have to listen to Him and find out what He wants us to do.
