Our Current Process...

Many people followed us on this blog and in other places during our first adoption  We are (and were) extremely thankful for all of the support then.  Since 2013, I have kept this blog open to the public, but have not written very much.  Few people know about our current process, why we chose to start it again.  Some that are aware have been asking questions about the timeline.  So here it is

• July 18-19, 2015 - IMPACT Training #1 in Atlanta, GA
• Aug. 8-9, 2015 - IMPACT Training #2 in Atlanta, GA
• August, 2015 - Very large packet of paperwork submitted to our agency
• Dec., 2015 - Matt - CPR/First Aid Class (Kristie keeps her's current!)
• Jan. 25, 2016 - Homestudy Visit #1
• Feb. 3, 2016 - Homestudy Visit #2

What kind of adoption is it?  Domestic (open to all 50) states, "special needs" children, foster-to-adopt.

How many kids?  As many as we can get.

What is considered "special needs"?  Sibling groups in the foster care system, a child with medical challenges, a child that has been in the foster system for a long time.

Why are you going through this again?  Why not?  James 1:27

What does it cost?  $Zero in the state of GA (if we end up adopting out of state, there could be some legal fees).


Where are you going to put more kids?  The Lord has provided us with a nice house with some room for a few more.  We can put a boy on Seth's top bunk, and we can fit a couple of girls in the bonus room with Daughters #2 and #3.
