Seeking the next step

The next step for us in the adoption process is to figure out an adoption agency or retain a lawyer.

Well, I thought I knew who and where we wanted to go to. First, was the lawyer in GA, then Cherished Children Adoption Agency. I called Cherished Children June 21st. They were supposed to email me information so we could see if we wanted to set up a consultation. On Monday, of course I was checking my email every time I got into my car. Dave called later in the afternoon to see if I had heard anything. Since I had not heard anything we decided to send an email to them with our information again. I still didn't hear anything by Tuesday. I talked to my mom and she told me about a lawyer in Greenville, Raymond Godwin. She said that Denise Robinson had friends that adopted from him and had a very positive experience. This isn't the first time I had heard his name. Stacy had also given me his name when I first talked to her. So, of course I got on the Internet and researched him. He seems to have a very good reputation, Dave and I talked and decided to give him a call.
Wednesday (6-26) I contacted Denise and she told me some information about her friends. She said that one of her friends had been with a different adoption agency for a long time and they changed to him and had a baby within several months. I called Ray Godwin's office and set a date to meet for a consultation. We are meeting Monday July 1, 2013 at 4:00 after Caleb's 4 year old check up. By the way Caleb turned 4 today! Such a big boy!
I also talked to my old boss Becky tonight. She called me to see about getting together. I explained to her where we were at this point and she gave me some great pointers and questions to ask the lawyer on Monday. So maybe that door didn't close it just wasn't the right time! Again, we still feel that being patient and seeking and following the Holy Spirit is the only way any of this is going to happen!
Until next time!
Patient Mommy!
