Here we are the beginning of November 2012
Things are going to change for the Nicol family.
Some you may be aware- or not ! That we are in the final stages of getting a homestudy done from our local CAS. Yep one year ago , we received an email from someone in our church to pray for some kids that recently lost a parent and who were orphans. It stirred our hearts to go down the road to adoption.... again.
When we were trying to get pregnant a second time , we had a CAS worker come to our over the Christmas holidays to get paperwork started and to start the process over 4 years ago. It was at that time, we got pregnant with Norah and had to call them to cancel that plan of adoption ....again.
Here we are again, me again, BTDT got the t-shirt. In a previous relationship I was a foster parent and prospective adoptive parent but that door closed. Thank GOD !
We are done our homestudy. It is at the agency ready to be signed. We are waiting for a final walk through so an adoption worker can meet and greet us and give some feedback. We had an outside adoption practioner do our homestudy because the agency had lots of families to get done and they wanted to fast track some of us. So the AP that did our homestudy knows us well. The AP at the agency does not. So they will probably spend some time getting to know us and verifying what is written in our homestudy.
We had and expression of interest in on a child that we met online on the provincial photolisting site but we feel now that it may not the right match for our family so we are open again to being lead. Tomorrow we plan to go to a mini adoption exchange meeting to let the local workers know about us.
Both the kids are excited at knowing they will be getting a new person/siblings in their lives soon.
I will update as we go further into the process.
