Thank you!

I’ve had it drilled into me that a good blogger is one who responds to comments on said blogger’s site. I’ve made it my goal to type some kind of response to each comment shared on any of my posts. I like the idea of continuing conversation as we share our stories together. In all, I think I’ve done a pretty good job.

Until now.

After our big announcement Monday night, we have received tons of congratulatory comments and messages here, on facebook, and via twitter. It’s been difficult to respond to them individually. And while I’m overwhelmed at the amount of people who have been praying for us and who were confident that Little Girl was destined to be ours, I’m sorry to say that I have not been able to respond to each of you individually. Or, as @juliebot would say, I’ve been a “bad bloggy friend.” I’m sure this puts me in danger of having to return my highly-coveted BLOGOTY Award.

So let me take this opportunity to say Thank you!

Thank you for praying for us while we waited. Of course, we ask that you continue to pray for us as we continue to wait. All of the documents from the homestudy have been turned in, so that part of the paperchase is over. Now we are waiting for the completed homestudy from our social worker, which shouldn’t take much longer. The next big hurdle is going to be working with Immigration. We hope this process goes smoothly.

Thank you again for all of your prayer and support during this process. While I haven’t been able to respond to each individual comment, I do want you to know that your support and encouragement has meant more to us than you can possibly know!

This amazing journey has only just begun. Thank you for allowing us to share it with you!
