August 7th came faster than we realized which resulted in our home study expiring after one year. To update the home study it requires another joint interview at our home, updated references, financial info, health forms, and another OSBI background check. The estimated total to update the home study is $750.00. Our joint interview is scheduled for Monday August 31st. It's so hard to believe that we started our adoption process over a year ago and we are still waiting to be matched. The time has flown by but at the same time seems like it's taking forever to be matched. We are being very patient while waiting for God's timing. We know it will happen at the perfect time and just trying to enjoy every day as it comes. We have been in contact with our agency throughout the summer as they wanted us to pray about certain situations with birth moms and if we wanted to be considered. We do know that our profile has been shown to birth moms in a few different states this summer. All times our profile had been shown this summer the birth mom picked a family that was closer to their state. Our agency says this happens often, so hopefully someone from Oklahoma will want to pick us! Soon!
The second week of June we did a Painting Party which helped us raise $220! It was a lot of fun!
