Presentation Summary Completed!

I just heard from our adoption worker, and the Presentation Summary is now finished! She is just waiting on copies of things right now, so she will be coming out to our house on the morning of the 16th to give us everything. We had already scheduled our quarterly visit with our R&C worker for foster care for that morning, so instead of taking yet another block of time off work, we're all going to meet at our house for one big visit.

The Presentation Summary will include every bit of information and paperwork the state had on Cookie and her entire family, her hospital records, birth certificate, social security information, and things I'm sure I have no clue about.

At this point, we've had to learn a lot about trust and faith. We've had to put our trust in Kendra (the adoption worker) that she knew what she was doing, and would do everything correctly and efficiently. We've had to put our trust in unknown and unseen people gathering the paperwork for the Presentation Summary. We've had to have faith that everything would happen when it was supposed to. We'vd had to give up any worry about the process.

I still attempt to worry, but when it's all outside of your realm of control, it's a lot easier to sleep at night knowing you took care of everything you needed to do, and that God and his crew are handling the rest.

Thank you, Lord, for this excellent news. Thank you, Leann, for completing our Presentation Summary so quickly. You do God's work, and I know you know that.
