Registration Day

TOMORROW!!! We have been working towards this day for a very long time! 


When we first moved to Nakuru, I was very discouraged to know that we had to begin again with the whole registration process, totally starting over. However, I quickly learned that we had moved to a district that was much more organized and helpful that our previous district. We have been here only half the time that we were in our old place, have done a hundred times more work towards the registration process than we did last time, but we are also closer than we ever were to actually attaining our Certificate of Registration! 


So, tomorrow is our D-Day. This is where we turn in every piece of documentation we have gathered, every report that has been written, and every procedure and guideline that has been developed. We are also being inspected by the Area Advisory Council (AAC). The AAC will break into two teams. One team will inspect the house and property and interview staff members. The other will read and inspect all of our files and documentation, including staff files, baby files, financial files, etc. 


Though this district has been more organized and helpful in lining out what is needed from us, we have still faced some issues and are hoping that the registration process will help out with those things. It seems that they have been dragging their feet in helping us get our committal forms for our babies, which are required for our babies to move from our home. This includes Jeremiah and Elijah being placed in an adoption registry and me being granted guardianship of Julia. These are VERY important documents that the Children's Department must sign off on. We are hoping and praying that the registration process will help move the processing of these documents along a little more quickly. 


Please pray with us for our inspection day tomorrow. Here are some specific requests:
* That this will be a productive time; not a team looking for things that are wrong,
* That we will have everything they request of us and it will all be in good order,
* That I will be at peace during the inspection and that the staff will also be relaxed and comfortable,
* That their report/recommendation will be process quickly so that we will know the results, 


and....
* That we will be given our committal papers for all of our babies so that we can move forward with the adoption registry for Jeremiah and Elijah and guardianship for Julia!


Thank you for your prayers, and we look forward to sharing the amazing work of God through this process!!
