Starting the process

On June 29, 2007, we officially signed and sent in our contract to adopt 2 young boys from Zambia, Africa. On July 12, we will have our first home study appointment. We think we already have the names for our 2 boys - Jameson and Jeremiah. We are all so excited. Also, my sister and her husband, who are adopting Ellie from China, have been one of the main catalysts in this journey and very helpful in sharing how to get started.

Hi Joy!

Thank you so much for the comment. We actually are just going to begin the process. We are excited & nervous all at the same time. We are just trusting in the Lord and that he will provide. We are looking to adopt a newborn, this will be our first child and we are very excited about that. Would you be able to tell us a little about the home study process...what it is, and also about what getting approved by the INS is? We are just looking on where to start and what the first step is. God's Blessings, we would love to keep in touch with you!
