First, we renewed our fingerprints.
Then we renewed our I-600A approval.
Now, we have to update our homestudy.

I haven't talked much about the adoption lately here, but about 100 times each day I think about how I just want her to come home. I get an update every once in awhile, nothing concrete and certainly no kind of time line for getting her home. We really got our hopes up when we heard that special needs adoptions were going to begin being processed. But, to my knowledge, not much has happened since then. It has been almost a year now since we decided to move forward with adopting Nana. We never imagined it would take this long. At that time adoptions were open in Liberia and we thought we would move very quickly through the process because of her medical needs. I've learned a lot about myself over the past year. God is teaching me so much through this process. I can honestly say that as we approach the one year mark, I am at peace. There were many times over the last year when I couldn't say that. I've been angry, frustrated, and we've almost quit. Each time God has given us His peace. So, we will wait and pray.
