dreams

I had a dream last night that when I spoke to my social worker today, she told me she had to children waiting for us, an infant girl and a toddler boy.  She was encouraging us to speed up the process as fast as we could.

Well, I did speak with our social worker today and well no such luck!  As far as speeding up...If I was not so organized with all of this it would be going much slower!  Our paper process is coming to an end slowly and hopefully our home study will be approved this week and we can send in the I-600 by the end of the week. 

But back to the dream, it was the first time I had a dream like this and it felt so real, yesterday I prayed for God to let our children know we are out here and we will be with them soon, maybe this was their response...I hope I get these dreams often!

I also was able to speak to a reference family today regarding their adoption, what an amazing story I got to hear, we both cried and laughed and you would have thought we had known each other for years.  What a true blessing!
I pray for all of you that have your referrals and are awaiting travel  and pray today for all of us awaiting the special day of our referral!

need more advice!

As Duane and I finish up our home study (finally...) and begin the last link in our paperwork journey we are thinking about changing our age range, we are currently at 0-4 sibling group, and thinking of changing it to 0-6.  There are many reasons we are thinking about this, but I would love to hear from anyone that has adopted siblings in this age range and can tell us some real life things to think about.  We currently have no kids but have a great deal of experience of being around kids.  I know 4 & 6 are much different and that our "4" yr old could be 6 and our 6 yr old could be 8....love to hear from my friends out there.  If you don't know but know someone please pass this along!  thanks!!
