Yes, we are in our first trimester! Adoption trimester that is. It is not unlike the first trimester of a pregnancy. We know we are going to have a child at the end but it just doesn't seem real yet. I often feel nauseous when thinking about all the paperwork...or about eating kimchi! LOL Unfortunately, the timeline for the first trimester of adoption is not as concrete as it is for pregnancy.
The application for our homestudy is almost completed and I am hoping to get it turned in by the end of this week. Once the application is reviewed we will receive MORE PAPERWORK! The homestudy can take anywhere from 2 to 4 months depending on our availability and how fast we can get all the documents needed. So, we are praying the first trimester is smooth and uneventful so we can go on to the second trimester where we get to finally see the blessing God has waiting for us.
On to the paperchase....
I am excited to follow your process!
