Shutterfly

OK. So I have heard from more than one friend now that Shutterfly is giving away 50 free cards...so I finally had time to get on and check it out for myself....it's true! You all should check it out here: http://blog.shutterfly.com/5358/holiday2010-blog-submission-form/

I love Shutterfly...they have the best designs, color schemes....just so creative. I would take one of each! It will be hard to decide what to pick for our holiday cards this year...I literally could spend hours on there looking through everything...and don't even get me started on the photo books....wow!

I cant' wait to look for our "birth announcement" when we finally get our baby's referral and bring our little one home!!!

Finally!

Finally it has arrived. We have finished all of the paperwork that our agency needs to approve us for adoption. All the forms, courses, online learning is done! Well, kinda...

Now we are working on our dossier, the bundle of forms and photos that we will put together to actually send to the Philippines. This is big. This is important. This is what the orphanage directors will see when they are trying to decide whether to choose us to receive a child. We would appreciate your prayers as we work on this and try to get it out quickly.

It is exciting to get one step closer to our little one coming home. However, we are getting to the hardest part...once our paperwork and dossier is submitted, the waiting begins...all is out of my control and I can't do anything to speed up the process. At least with the paperwork, I felt like I was doing something...now all I can do is wait on God's timing and pray for my little one so far away.
