Prelim letter




Friday evening, I got an email that said our prelim app had been approved and now we have access to the Bethany Portal. On it, we can fill out our formal app, view our financial activity, ask questions, and more. This was so exciting! We like the formal app because it is all online. Here is a pic of me holding the official letter that came in the mail yesterday. Ty said it was cheesy, but this will be a part of "little miracle's" story one day~

We have been working on it all weekend, and should finish everything up tomorrow. I am waiting on some clarification from our adoption specialist on one of the components.

Things around the house are getting into swing. I have cleaned out the closet in the nursery and under the bed. That furniture will go into the other bedroom and then we will be moving out the current furniture at our adoption yard sale in early Spring. The next goal is to clear out the other bedroom, which hopefully will happen this weekend. We made room in the garage for more yard sale storage bins too.

In some of my "spare" time, I have been doing some nursery research....I will save it for another post.


I do want to share some thing so super sweet though.....

Mehya, a special student who I had in Reading last year (adopted from Korea) asked me in the hall Friday if I had a baby. I told her no, and she said is it just you, and I replied yes. Well that was the end of the conversation. I sent her mom a message because she is a teacher at my school. This was her reply: "I think she asked about the baby because I told her you are going to adopt a baby, like mommy and daddy adopted her and Nate. And we speak about a baby growing in your heart, like they grew in ours! Wonder if that is what she was thinking about!" Yep, that is planted in my heart forever!!!!
