I have had an amazing turn of events.  I spoke with the agency supervisor Monday regarding the status of my home study approval.  It turns out they are reviewing my supporting documents and the lady who was being extremely difficult to larger families    we were waiting for approval from is on vacation and has turned my case over to her supervisor.  Keep praying.  I am hoping to hear the results soon.  Meanwhile, I am preparing my next two rounds of paperwork and getting ready for more fundraising efforts.
I found out that the meaning of the name my child I am going to adopt means people of victory or victorious people.  I love it.  Thanks for all the love and support and I cant wait to update you on my approval soon.  And I really cant wait for you to all meet my little guy.

Prayer needed!!   My home study report should be turned in to DCFS sometime this week.  Please pray for patience for me as I wait and that God would move throughout this whole approval process. I want to see Him and know HIM bigger than ever.  I want my kids and the whole world to know that God answers prayer and He is able to accomplish and do all that He asks us to do even when we feel inadequate and defeated.

I also have GREAT news.  I have been matched with a little boy.  He is 2 years old.  Still a long road ahead but I wanted to share my good news as it comes and keep you updated.
