We just heard from the social worker at the agency that our second background check (done in TX- with fingerprints again!) was processed successfully! Whew- no more fingerprint worries!!! To my small group girls- I guess I wouldn't be a very good criminal after all- ha! (We had joked about them not being able to get good prints on me)!
So now all of the details are in place- we just wait....
Psa. 27:14 "Wait for the Lord; Be strong, and let your heart take courage; Yes, wait for the Lord."

Not a Criminal!
I had a pleasant surprise awaiting me yesterday when I got home and checked the mail- my fingerprints were FINALLY accepted by the FBI!!! (for a criminal background check they have to do in order for us to adopt)
For those who don't know, I had three sets of fingerprints get rejected (low quality, smudged, you name it) done the old-fashioned ink way, and then I had to endure the lovely experience of walking around a jail of actual criminals (by myself) to get my fingerprints scanned, so this is GOOD news that they were finally accepted! And by the way, of course the report came back that I have no criminal record :-)

2/26/09- A co-worker of mine who is a notary signed off on our last piece of adoption paperwork, so now we truly can only wait for God's timing. I heard Jon & Sherry Rivers talking about adoption on the radio (KLove) this week, and when they mentioned this verse, it took on new meaning to me now:
"A father to the fatherless, a defender of widows, is God in his holy dwelling. God sets the lonely in families..." Psalm 68:5-6
I take hold of this promise today, that God protects widows and orphans, and will place a baby in our waiting arms in His PERFECT timing. Please pray for patience for us!
