Tonight
we met Susie Herrmann for our first home study.
After going to the wrong Panera Bread restaurant, we finally met her and
talked for about 1.5 hours! She was so
amazing to talk to about adoption. She
had some great advice such as buying 18 souvineers while in Taiwan and giving
our child 1 gift on their “gotcha” day.
Their “gotcha day” would be celebrated on the day we adopted them :) as
we would also celebrate their actual birthday.
I thought that was such a creative idea!
We went over all the criteria and the things we need to get done to wrap
up the home study. She is coming back at
the end of the month and I am so excited to finish this, but I am also trying
to soak it all in too and enjoy the process.
I think it really hit us that we are “adopting” after our talk with
Susie. We have been ready for so long
and it’s becoming so real! We’ve always
felt like we were in a situation where “if” it happens it will be so great, but
we are finally starting to feel like “when” it happens it will be
wonderful. God is just filling me with
more faith every day. We came away
feeling so blessed to be working with Susie! God is good.
