God is in control

I am physically and emotionally exhausted! But we know that we have finally done all that we can do. We can now take a step back and watch God move. Today's email from our social worker's office made my heart drop. Part of the homestudy process is being fingerprinted. Well, Kevin's prints came back with no problems. However, they can't read my prints and now they are going to have to do a name check. This process for whatever reason takes twenty, yes 2-0 business days for me to be cleared.

It was not a pretty day in the Wolfe household, I shed more tears over fingerprints and ran scenario after scenario through my head to make this happen in less than twenty days. My sister-in-law, Kate and I were even planning a crazy road trip to Topeka to the KBI's office. :) It won't help. Nothing will. So, now all we do is sit and wait for God's perfect timing. God is in control and He has a plan.

It's Finished!!!

It's a day for celebrating in the Wolfe household, we finished the notebook! I can't believe it. I can't even describe all the emotions I went through as we drove to Adoption & Beyond to hand in our notebook and now I am so excited about the next steps. We have our homestudy visit scheduled for Friday, April 1st. We are one step closer to Baby Wolfe.

One more step done

Kevin and I traveled to the police station this afternoon to be fingerprinted for the KBI. It only took about 15 minutes, and I was impressed by the process. We joked that it's great when you can go to the back of a police station, get fingerprinted, and LEAVE! Neither of us have ever been fingerprinted-probably a good thing. ;) We'll have to be fingerprinted again in Topeka later for immigration purposes, getting permission to bring a foreign adopted orphan into the United States.

6.4 earthquake rocks southern Taiwan today

My sweet sister called me this morning on her way to work that she heard on K-Love radio that an earthquake had rocked Taiwan this morning. Her immediate thought was, "Oh no, my niece or nephew lives there". This truly warmed my heart that her heart too is in Taiwan.

My heart and prayers are in Taiwan, especially right now because I simply do not know. Today I'm claiming Psalms 46:1, "The Lord is our refuge and strength. A very present help in time of trouble.




We are relived that The HOGL was not impacted by the earthquake nor were there any reported deaths in Taiwan due to this earthquake. God is good!!!
