Chick fil a Spirit Night and home-study is done!

Last night we had our Spirit Night at the Chick-fil a in Martinsburg. We had such great time meeting so many new people and meeting families who have adopted or who, like us, are in the process of adopting. We made a lot of new friends last night! We really felt blessed and encouraged from meeting everyone. We feel humbled by the outpouring of support and generosity from the community! We actually raised a good bit of money from this Spirit Night! We are so thankful to Kendra, the owner at this location, for allowing us to have our Spirit Night for our adoption!

The girls and I made a display board for our adoption. They had a lot of fun helping me make it. The pictures of our precious Meiya were a hit with folks. We even put the pictures out of Meiya that Hannah and Hailee drew.

A lot of people from our church came out and helped us out with wiping down tables and helping us with the girls. Hailee got sick while we were there and Jingles and Linda, a very sweet, loving couple from our church took the girls home with them so she could rest. LO and BEHOLD that child made a miraculous recovery once she got to their house. Linda said she perked up and wanted to eat. lol! We want to thank our church family for everything they did for us last night. Especially Linda and Jingles for taking our 'sick' little Hailee and Hannah home with them. We are glad Hailee is feeling better. She is such a stinker!
Finally today was our last home-study! YIPEE! We are so thrilled that part is over! Our wonderful Social Worker said that she will have it done in a few days then it will be reviewed by her supervisor then off to our adoption agency for their (fingers crossed) approval! We believe they will approve it because she followed their directions to a T! Now we start focusing on the dossier! I once saw an adoption T-shirt that says "So far no morning sickness but the paper cuts are terrible!" I need that T-shirt!
