KISSES IN THE WIND

I hold you in my heart and touch you in my dreams
You are here each day with me, at least that is how it seems.

I know you wonder where we are.....what' s taking us so long,
But remember child, I love you so and God will keep you strong.

Now go outside and feel the breeze and let it touch your skin...
Because tonight, just as always, I blow you kisses in the wind .

May God hold you in his hand until I can be with you,
I promise you, my darling , I 'm doing all that I can do.

Very soon, you'll have a family for real, not just pretend.
But for tonight, just as always, I blow you kisses in the wind.

May God wrap you in His arms and hold you very tight.
And let the angels bring the kisses that I send to you each night.

We begin our Home study!

Yeah! Next wednesday, May 3rd, we will officially begin our homestudy with Carol Galvin - a wonderful social worker that was recommended to us. I know she's wonderful - because she's put up with all my questions and confusions before even being able to start our homestudy! Plus - many other people have highly praised her! :)
We are still plugging away at all the paperwork and notarizations. It's amazing to me - how many hoops we have to jump through to prove we are good parents and can adopt this child. It will be worth it in the end! I would do many times more paperwork even!! (and I know I will throughout her life!). This week we will be starting on our 3-4 page autobiographies for the homestudy. Should be interesting. . . . hope my memory doesn't fail me when writing it! :) hee, hee. Or - maybe that would be a good thing. :) Who knows!
Thank you for supporting us in this adoption. If any of you feel led to share your support of us through prayer or finances (or knowledge & expertise in this process) - please check the links under "How can I support the Wests?". Thanks so much guys! God bless you all
-Lori :)
