Sometimes it just doesn't seem real! (ramblings)

Okay, so I haven't had any updates lately, and I guess that is because this paperwork goes so slow that it 'seems' like nothing is happening, but with each day passing, I'm sure it is getting closer. But when waiting for children being adopted, you don't have the same sensations of being able to feel them moving in your womb as you wait. You don't have a date when your precious child(ren) will make their appearance. We still pray for our boys that we are expecting everyday, and ask God to be watching over them and protecting them as they wait also, not even knowing or understanding that they are waiting. It is hard to think about. And what a blessing for us to already have children. We have not been barren. God has blessed us with our beautiful girls! So, I can only imagine what it must be like for couples who haven't ever had any children. But, we do now have our homestudy done. That is a blessing! And we have requested our passports, and we have sent the paperwork for the boys to be allowed to immigrate into the country, and for our fingerprinting, etc. We have some tests that we need to study up for, and other paperwork we need to complete, but we are on the road. The reality of it is that we really aren't waiting until all of this paperwork is completed, and sent to Russia. It is still months away. So, until then, we will do other things. Mainly the studying, and getting Hannah's room built downstairs. That will be enough to keep us busy while the holidays are passing by, and the new year comes. We are waiting on the Lord! He knows when the boys will be here.
