Dossier Run Through Call

I can't believe how fast time is going by right now! I love this Christmas season, but it's moving too fast.   It's already been almost a week since we got our adoption planner in the mail! It came literally 5 minutes before we walked out the door to our small group Christmas party.  Needless to say, the excitement of getting home and looking over everything was in the back of my mind all night.  I still can't believe we're already to this point, God is so good! We had our DRC(Dossier Run Through call) Thursday afternoon. It was the perfect day, it was snowing and Aaron and I were both off work(a rare thing these days) so we both got to be there for the call as they explained the mountain of paperwork to us.  In my head, I knew it was going to be a lot of paperwork, but now seeing it all in front of us is a little overwhelming! I love our agency though, they have already been so helpful. The end result will be so worth it! We cannot wait to have this baby home! Our Christmas break will be filled with a visit home to family and trying to knock out a huge chunk of the paperwork and education while Aaron is out of school.  Praying we are super productive and get lots done in the next few weeks! We also don't want to get so bogged down in all the paperwork and logistics of what we're doing that we forget the reason for this beautiful season and why we're doing what we're doing.  Glory in the highest!

  2. Very exciting!! I totally agree with Alison. Very overwhelming at first but once you get started it's not that bad. The workbook was definately a labor of love...hope you can knock it out quickly!!

  3. You're getting closer to your baby!!!!! As the other two ladies said, the paperwork seems overwhelming now but it's not nearly as bad as it seems. And again, I agree that the workbook was one of the hardest parts, start now and do a few pages every night or even before and after dinner, that's the only way we got through it!! Just remember, every time you sign your name, every night that you can't sleep, every single minute means you are closer!!!! So excited for yall!
