More adoption stuff...

We have had a crazy day running around Nashville today. I think I only panicked about 10 times! *sigh* Let me tell you, it's easier to be pregnant than go through this paperwork stuff! LOL One of our documents had to be redone because the 0 in the date was written wrong. Seriously. Then our home study agency called (as we were about 10 minutes away from their door) to tell us that they probably wouldn't have all the papers we needed today when we got there after all! AHHH! Turns out though that after we hung up the right person walked in the door and was able to sign everything so we DID get those!

We got our TBI background checks done this morning... we're not criminals, so that was a huge relief! (haha) And we got our Davidson County Certification done today, but we had to come back here to fix the one other document and get that re-certified... SO instead of submitting today like we wanted to, we'll submit on Tuesday after we get everything apostilled. No big deal in the grand scheme of things. We're still getting close!!

This weekend I am going to de-stress. I need to fax a copy of our dossier to our facilitator in Kellsey's country so he can make one final approval (PLEASE be praying about that NOW that everything is ok!!!) and then I can't do ANYTHING until Tuesday so I'm not going to look at our dossier or worry about it at all. I'm just going to think about Kellsey and how happy we will be when we FINALLY get to hold her in our arms... SOON!

I've struggled a lot the last few days with ME getting everything done and being in control instead of just praying and turning it all over to God. When I finally took a deep breath and did that, I started to see everything fall into place. This is a constant struggle for me and He's always teaching me to let go and let Him and He's showing me, even now, that He's in control and He's not going to let us... or Kellsey... go it alone. He's taking care of us and surrounding us with the right people at the right times to help us along. I just need to remember to pray and breathe. Ahhh.

Here is to a peaceful holiday weekend to all of you!
