Home Study...check!

We are SO EXCITED to share that the last piece needed for our home study arrived today!  We had a little bump in the road with Ryan's fingerprints.  We sent both of our prints off in March.  We did this because for the home study we have to have a clearance letter from the Alabama Bureau of Investigation and the Federal Bureau of Investigation.  Well, my letter came in on May 5.  When Ryan's hadn't come in a week later, we decided to call Virginia.  We are so glad we did!  They thought they were still waiting for Ryan's prints to arrive.  Apparently, they had gotten lost in the shuffle.  But, by the end of the day they had found Ryan's prints and processed them...and his clearance letter arrived today!  So, that means that our Home Study is essentially complete!  I just need to read over it and check for any errors.  The next step is to send off our Home Study and our I-800A form so we can get yet another set of fingerprints done.  We are so thrilled to have this first BIG step in the adoption complete!  Next step...dossier!  Please continue to pray for our process, for the Lord's provision financially, and for Hannah Ryan!
