Just a quick update on what's been happening with our adoption..
So far nothing too drastic or exciting has happened, but we have definitely been up to our ears in paperwork! We ended up having to make an update on our home study instead of just an amendment, so that called for a trip to Birmingham, extra paperwork and of course redo all of our clearances and fingerprints! Think we finally have everything filled out and are waiting on all of our clearances to come back proclaiming we are actually innocent folks with our worse offense ever committed was a speeding ticket! :) Social worker said today that her supervisor is out of office till after Easter so guess we are stalled off with getting her final approval so we can finally send off for our I-600 which is our immigration approval from the states allowing us to bring a foreign born child to U.S. and allowing it to become a citizen.
Lots of small baby steps and hoops to jump through, but at least we are DOING SOMETHING and making progress which really feels good!! :)
It still feels like a dream and some days wonder if it really is all true and going to be something that actually happens, but think slowly it is sinking in! It's still a little hard for me to dream with not knowing what gender or age it will be.
Sorry not many exciting details yet, but that's soon to come!! :))
Sounds exciting! ! so happy for you!:)
