First of MANY prayer requests!!!

Hey everyone!!  First of all..I am SO SORRY that this blog post is so LONG winded.  Once I started I just couldn't stop, so hang in there til the end! ha ha
     
     As I said in the first blog post, we are trying to settle down on an agency.  We have met with an agency in Overland Park, Ks last Monday called "Adoption and Beyond".  We liked how the meeting went for the most part.  We had talked it over and pretty much decided that this is the agency we are going to go with.  MAINLY because the cost was some of the lowest we had seen for domestic infant adoptions. The cost was $18,000 up to $22,000.  The only CONS we had with this agency was that the average time frame for a completed adoption was a little longer than what we had hoped for.  Another thing that I found out today was that they focus mainly placing an infant with the same race as the adoptive parents. That's not necessarily what we are looking for.  We don't care what the skin color of this amazingly ADORABLE baby is going to be!  But that being said...in our minds we had settled on this agency because the price was a little lower than what we had found and it was close and convenient for us.

   So today as I am just playing around on the computer I start doing some research of other agencies just for the fun of it.  I literally STUMBLE across this certain agency and start looking into it.  I INSTANTLY fell in love with it!!  It is everything we want AND it's even CHEAPER than the first agency!!  So I am just looking around this website and find that they NOW have 2 open spots available.  So what do I do?  I hit the apply button and start filling out the lengthy application.  After I hit the send button a message pops up saying that once it is reviewed they will send out an email to let us know if they think we are a good fit for this company and to say that we can move forward in setting up a meeting with them. 

An hour later.......an email comes in saying they would love to have an appointment with us over the phone!  This appointment is going to determine whether or not they will accept us into the program and give us one of those two open spots. 

WHEW!!!  Now to the point.  PRAY.  Please pray that if this is the agency God wants us to use then the door be opened and it be VERY clear.  If this is not God's plan for us then please PRAY that the door will be shut very fast.  I usually try not to get to excited very quickly but it's kind of hard not to.  How can you not be excited when you are thinking about one of these agencies is going to be our guide to holding our amazing and precious baby!?!?!  I just want it to be clear which one is God's way for us.  So thank you in advance for all the prayers lifted up! 

Love,
The Nuzum's :)
