I was finally able to get together the rest of the paper work that we needed to send in for our Show Hope adoption grant this afternoon. Alya and I dropped it off at the post office right before closing time .... so it's off! We now have all four of our adoption grants mailed and are now just waiting to hear back from them. As far as the time frame goes of hearing back from these ministries it really could be any length of time. I know that Show Hope says that they need a minimum of 120 days to review our application. Another grant we applied to is only given out in December. The other two didn't give a specific time frame. So ... we just sit back and do what we do best ... WAIT! We've been playing the waiting game for the last 3 1/2 years so whats a little more waiting time right?? All we can really do is just trust that God's got all the finances taken care of and that it will all come from some where.
Still waiting on hearing the official word from our case worker to see if she has received the paperwork I mailed off to her the other day. I'm hoping once she receives the rest of the documents that she needs for our file we will get more information as to what to expect next.
I am so super glad that it is the weekend. I actually had a surprisingly really good week ... but I am still thankful for a fall-like weather weekend to just relax and be refreshed for another work week with my kiddies.
waiting is always the worst. soon all the waiting will be worth it and you will have a beautiful child in your hands.
