1 Down 1 to go!

John is out of town on business so I thought I would post to bring the blog up to date.
Our first homestudy with Adoption & Beyond went well! We met Monday afternoon & it was so much easier than I thought it was going to be. I am really happy with our choice of agencies, they have answered all of our questions, they staff is awesome & has told us each step of the way exactly how things will happen. (& so far they have happen as planned!)
Everything is moving along much faster than we expected. We will get the final copy of the homestudy this week & then its official! We have a small amount of paper work left & then we are ready to be matched with a birth mother. Now for the fun part.... we wait. I am not good about waiting for anything so I know for me this is going to be hard.

Thank you all for your prayers, well wishes & joining us on this journey of growing our family!
Jennifer & John

1 Corinthians 13

Love -

1If I speak in the tongues of men and of angels, but have not love, I am only a resounding gong or a clanging cymbal. 2If I have the gift of prophecy and can fathom all mysteries and all knowledge, and if I have a faith that can move mountains, but have not love, I am nothing. 3If I give all I possess to the poor and surrender my body to the flames, but have not love, I gain nothing.
4Love is patient, love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud. 5It is not rude, it is not self-seeking, it is not easily angered, it keeps no record of wrongs. 6Love does not delight in evil but rejoices with the truth. 7It always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always perseveres.

8Love never fails. But where there are prophecies, they will cease; where there are tongues, they will be stilled; where there is knowledge, it will pass away. 9For we know in part and we prophesy in part, 10but when perfection comes, the imperfect disappears. 11When I was a child, I talked like a child, I thought like a child, I reasoned like a child. When I became a man, I put childish ways behind me. 12Now we see but a poor reflection as in a mirror; then we shall see face to face. Now I know in part; then I shall know fully, even as I am fully known.

13And now these three remain: faith, hope and love. But the greatest of these is love.

=) Love you! - IB
