Still here...

We have now moved past the clearance letter debacle.  Now...to do the I-800A paperwork.  It's more government pre-approval stuff that has a chunk of money attached.  I don't mean to sound down, but I have been getting easily overwhelmed.  Just when I finish one task, there is a stack of paperwork and a large amount of funds needed for the next "assignment."  I'm going to keep going because I know this is what God wants. 
I'm thankful that Rob is my anchor.  He pulls me up when I feel like I'm falling apart.  When it seems too much for me to deal with, he steps in and brings stability to the situation.  *chuckles* It's very apparent why the Father put us together.
Anyway...this week, we'll be getting all of the money together and fill out the rest of the I-800A stuff and send it off.  I'm getting agitated just thinking about all of the signatures and notorizing that will have to be done for the dossier packet.  One thing at a time, one thing at a time...
I found out that the adoption process for Thailand is much longer than first thought.  I understood it to be a year when we started in January.  It seems that it is closer to three years give or take.  I have been tempted on more than one occasion to switch to China.  But...God continually reminds me through close friends, dreams and words that seem to be written especially for me from the Bible, that we are to stay the course.  He has chosen a specific child for us from Thailand and his new name will be Jackson.  It's gonna be worth it.  Jackson is worth it.
So I say to myself, "Suck it up, cowboy!"  (or should I say "cowgirl?")
Blessings,
