How our adoption journey began

Back in October of 2008, the Lord lay heavy on my heart to grow our family through adoption. I approached my husband, Jason, with the idea. After many nights of prayer, we began researching adoption agencies. We researched the web and requested packets from various agencies.

We choose America World Adoption Agency to lead us through the process of adoption. On October 17, 2008, we submitted our application. We are applying for a son ages 0 - 4 years of age.

January 2009 - Started Home Study
April 2009 - Applied for US Immigration Approval
May 2009 - Started Dossier Documents
July 2009 - Completed Home Study and Prepared a Bedroom
September 2009 - Sent Adoption Registration to Ukraine

What the Lord teaches us through this process is patience. Adoption is a long process with lots of paper work, procedures, and uncertainties. But as we read in Colossians 1:11, "being strenghtened with all power according to his glorious might so that you may have great endurance and patience"
