The first dip

In this roller coaster ride, that is. We had been moving along at record speed with no bumps when all of a sudden we hit a major red light. We heard from CHI yesterday who had received our homestudy from ASC. Apparently because of a medical issue, we have to get more documentation from the doctor. We thought that this could cause a problem, however, we were under the impression that as long as the Dr. wrote us letters stating that we were in "good physical and mental health and free of contagious diseases", it wasn't going to be an issue. Well, we were wrong. So, right now we are faced with the prospect of losing this whole thing. We will hopefully know by the end of next week as to what direction we will take. We may be switching to a domestic adoption but will wait to make a decision on that until after CHI reviews the dr.'s documentation. Both Stuart and I are terrified and angry at this whole situation. However, we are reminded constantly that God is in control. We have faith that we are going to get the child we are meant to have.
So, in the meantime, we are going to have a good weekend. Tonight, Cameron and I are going to make cookies. Tomorrow, we are going to Franklin College homecoming with some of our dearest friends and on Sunday we are going to watch football like its our job.
Oh, and congratulate Stuart as he scored his first career goal in soccer last night at our indoor soccer game. Imagine everyone's excitement when husband and wife met at half field for a mighty chest bump in celebration.
