Taking a Deep Breath!

We are definitely taking a deep breath today and are able to relax!!!  Our in home visit is complete and everything went well.  It is difficult having someone, you do not know, come into your home and judge your parenting skills.  We believe we have parented well and we provide a stable environment for our children, but would they agree and approve us to parent another child?  
It did cause me to lose some sleep.  I also cleaned and organized the house several times.  My children assisted in cleaning their rooms, installing smoke/carbon monoxide alarms in every room, and had great attitudes.  We all pulled together and worked as a team.
The social worker who came to our house was amazing!  She was easy to work with and very encouraging.  When the visit was complete and she was satisfied we were more than fit to adopt another child she approved us to adopt up to 3 children.  We are relieved and excited at the same time!  We are now taking the rest of this holiday weekend to relax and enjoy each other.  Our God is faithful!
Please keep us in your prayers this week.  We need for all of our paperwork associated with the home study to be completed by Friday.  This is critical for the home study to be approved and finished because of new rules taking effect on July 14th.
Thanks!!!
