Paperwork

Well, not that our excitement has diminished or anything, but we have been filling out tons of paperwork for the last couple weeks. It really is kind of crazy the amount of paperwork that you have to complete to adopt. We are pretty much through all of it now. The last thing we needed was the water test since we are not on city water. So now we have our home study and the classes at the adoption agency left. Once we do that, our packet of info goes to Ethiopia and the clock starts. Thanks again to all for your support.

Not only is a new world possible, she is on her way. On a quiet day I can hear her breathing.

Gratitude


Gratitude unlocks the fullness of life.

It turns what we have into enough,

and more.

It turns denial into acceptance,

chaos into order,

confusion into clarity....

It turns problems into gifts,

failures into success,

the unexpected into perfect timing,

and mistakes into important events.

Gratitude makes sense of our past,

brings peace for today

and creates a vision for tomorrow.
