"You greatly rejoice, even though now for a little while, if necessary, you have been distressed by various trials, that the proof of your faith, being more precious than gold which is perishable, even though tested by fire, may be found to result in praise and glory and honor at the revelation of Jesus Christ." 1 Peter 1:6-7

Home Study


"The adoption home study is a detailed written report of your family compiled and prepared by a social worker. This can take three to six months to finish. The adoption home study requires the prospective adoptive family to gather different documents, answer several questions, and explore their reasons for adopting. Through a series of visits and interviews the social worker can get a complete picture of who you are and what life is like in your family."
We've almost completed our home study. We've met with our social worker three times. We're essentially just waiting to get our FBI fingerprint clearance and then we can proceed on with this process.
This has been a great learning process for me (Amy). I am someone who likes to be on schedule and it has been a time to surrender that desire. I have to know that God is in control of this whole process and His timing is perfect.
*If you are a mom, you would know my heart though; my baby is half-way around the world and I am waiting on paperwork, of all things, to go and bring her home.

  1. Hi Sweetie!
    I commend you for the thorough job you have done on all of this paperwork. All of it brings her closer to coming home! I'm really proud of you for your dedication during the adoption process as well as the obvious love you have for Sehin!

    Love her and love you!
    Your Momma
