We are at a stand still.
It's now been five weeks since we turned in our completed application to schedule a home study. (That's right - we aren't waiting on our actual home study yet, we are still waiting on it to be scheduled.) For those of you who know me, you can imagine the spiritual strength it has taken to not hound the CPS office for answers. But the Lord keeps saying, "Give it time. Relax and give it time."
We have again reached out to our FAD worker ("Foster Adoptive Home Development"), so hopefully we'll have an answer today. I am also going to reach out to several other couples who took the licensing classes with us to see if they are experiencing the same thing. Waiting to schedule our home study has been the most frustrating thing we have encountered with this process so far, so I guess we should consider ourselves lucky. But we need tons of prayer over this situation!
Please pray for favor with the CPS workers and home study contractor. Also, please pray for patience as we continue to seek the final step in our licensing. We know the Lord works out everything according to His purposes, and we look forward to the further unveiling of His plan!
