Assigned our SW

Well, I got a call from our homestudy agency today, and we have been assigned our social worker! Yay! Now things should really get going! Hopefully we'll hear from her by the end of the week!

One thing that scares me a little bit though is that in the homestudy, they want it to prove we have funds available to pay for the adoption. Basically, Korea wants proof we'll have the money to send when the time comes. Whether the proof of funds be savings, loan, home equity line of credit doesn't matter. As long as there is a hefty chunk we are able to access if needed! Ahh!!! We don't nearly have enough to pay for all of that! We are doing as much as we can to save $. We've decreased the Dish to the local channels, decreased our cell phone to the lowest plan, & I cancelled my gym membership (a while back), but that's only gonna be $100 extra a month! I guess it's a start. Something wonderful is that Bill is gonna have the opportunity to take a part time job. This will be extra money & if he likes it he'll be able to go full-time at the beginning of the year! Yay! It'll be better benefits & more security.

On another note, church tonight was awesome! We've been going through Genesis, and recently talking about Jacob. One thing that stuck out is that God made a promise to Abraham, Isaac, & Jacob. He fulfilled all of those promises reguardless of what man did. So, what makes us think He won't come through for us? I'm really trying to take a step back & truly rely on God. I've been saying it, yet trying to work it out & figure it out on my own. I've got to slow down, take a deep breath, & give it up, or I'm gonna go crazy! We SERIOUSLY can't do this on our own. God WILL provide!

Thanks for reading all that! :)

congrats on getting your SW assigned to you! that's a good feeling :-) the money will come! i know you know that, but it will! also, they want to know that your assets outweigh your liabilities. so as long as you're not hugely in debt and you still have a positive net worth, i'm sure you'll be fine!
