We're Adopting!

The Herman Family has some exciting news!  We are in the process of adopting a child from South Korea.  Liam and Lilly are both really excited to have a new brother or sister.  Liam has been praying specifically for a brother.  The time-frame will fall into place once we get farther along in the process.  It could be as soon as 7 months from now or as long as 21 months.  We are praying it is sooner, rather than later.  Most families have a wait time of 11-13 months once they receive their referral.  We are still waiting for our referral.  We had our first meeting on October 27th, and started the home study the following month.  Our home study is finished and being reviewed.  Once our agency is done reviewing it, they will send it to South Korea.  Then, we wait patiently to get a referral of our child.  During that waiting period, we will work on US government paperwork called the I-600a.  There is ALWAYS paperwork to work on, but we prefer to be working on something while we wait.  Waiting is the hard part.  We already have space in our hearts for our next baby.  We can't wait to find out who they are and when they will be part of our forever family!
