It's time!

Hurry sweep the floors, clean the bathrooms, straighten the pillows....our first homestudy ~ November 4th!  No matter when you think IT should happen or how IT should go IT will follow the plans of the Lord. IT stands for everything our adoption is. IT is tiring, exciting, painful, joyful, spirit filled, emotional, comforting, and pure love.
Our first meeting is an overview of the process and we will receive our dossier packet or actually what we will need to compile the dossier packet. I looked up the origin of the word dossier and the word that stuck out to me was MASS!!!

 Word Origin & History

dossier:

1880, from Fr. dossier  "bundle of papers," from dos  "back," supposedly because the bundle bore a label on the back, from L. dossum,  var. of dorsum  "back." Or possibly from resemblance of the bulge in a mass of bundled papers to the curve of a back.
