Second Interview

Tomorrow is our second interview with the social worker.  Pray for us please.  I get so nervous.  We are so grateful for how God keeps providing through Mary Kay money and through Michele Maloney and Julie Jones and their hard work in photo shoots.  We have also received a few gifts as of recent.  It is so fun to watch God be faithful.  

I recently just returned from a trip to see my family in Idaho.  Something fun that I was able to see God orchestrate is that my mom who is a preschool teacher now has an Ethiopian student in her class.  I feel like God put this young girl in her class to give my mother some familiarity.  My mom is enjoying getting to know her and looking forward to meeting her own granddaughter.  I am loving what God will do in every corner of your life.  Abby and I also enjoyed getting to know her as well.  I would have never imagined when growing up in Coeurd'Alene, Idaho that I would know more internationally adopted children in Coeurd'Alene than here in Detroit.  Crazy how my home has changed.  One day I was visiting my mother at work.  She had her children in music class.  I started crying as I saw a classroom of 4-5 year old children singing their hearts out to Jesus.  Two of them from Ethiopia, two of them from Guatemala, two from Asia and the rest Caucasian.  Truly Gorgeous!

Homestudy follow up!

We had our first interview yesturday.  Its so intimidating having someone with a stern face asking all kinds of questions about you but we survived.  It was a positive meeting for us because we feel like we have an advocate for us after the adoption.  Christian Family Services is doing our homestudy and they offer frequent seminars for adoptive parents.  Our social worker also was able to refer some books to us.  Kevin was relieved to have them for our future.  Our next interview is scheduled for the 11th of November and will be an interview seperately.  Please continue to pray for us! 

Other news in the Prescott family this week is that we are now around 21 weeks and we are having another girl :)

New date for our homestudy!

We are so excited that we are finally scheduled again for our homestudy.  Our new date is October 20th!  Here I go with my nerves again, but also so excited to finally get this stuff going.  Please keep us in your prayers as the process will take approximatly 6 weeks.  We have two or three interviews in our social workers office and one or two in our home.  We love and appreciate all the support and prayers from all of you.
