Retail Therapy

It's been six weeks since we decided to begin the adoption process for #4 in Ghana. I realized I was feeling very impatient today and checked the timing. I always get very impatient at about six weeks--in every adoption! LOL! Maybe it's my version of morning sickness?

We are hopefully within about a week of being able to accept the official referral. Then I can tell you all about her! We're just waiting on our Social Worker to finish up the homestudy update. I'm praying that she is able to get it done by the end of the week.

Our little one is starting to feel more real. I'm starting to believe more in my heart that this is really happening and she is really going to come home. I know this, because I'm starting to feel okay with buying her things! Last week you saw that I bought her two winter sweaters. But today...today I felt brave enough to buy her a few things for when I go to pick her up--to wear in Ghana. THAT feels much more brave to me!

Now, I'm only buying VERY inexpensive things because we need to save almost every dollar for the adoption itself, but it is fun just to spend a few dollars at a clearance store, and imagine them on my baby girl.

Not sure why this pic is sideways, but oh well.
