Studied and Fingerprinted!

Let me just say, we have worked our fingers to the bone getting this house ready for the home study! We cleaned every inch of carpet, floor, wall, and window. We scrubbed, vacuumed, organized, etc. The social worker came in, sat down, visited with us for about an hour and a half. After we got done, I expected her to want to see the house. The amazingly clean....wonderfully organized house. NOPE! She said she only walks the houses that she isn't sure about...which is wonderful, but seriously! I sweated over the ordeal! Seriously! J. vacuumed!! You have to see the house!!! The good news: We are so official! We were approved with our home study. YEA!!!

THEN!!!



We went to the police station and low and behold,
we had our fingerprints done.....AND there were no warrants! ...AND the officer was great. ...AND we walked right out with our fingerprints.
They are off to Austin to be processed!

Our next step is to wait for the birth of the baby and continue to fund raise. We are prayerful for the health of the little one and the birth mom! Please continue to be in prayer for them.

But for today, my last day of summer, which is an entire post all by itself, we are studied and fingerprinted!!
