Well let's see!!  Where do I begin?  We started our journey by sending in our application to our adoption agency on 9/20/2010 and after a little over a week on 9/28/2010 we had heard from the agency that we were approved to move on in the process!! That was only the beginning but a huge step nonetheless :)

Next we were told to go ahead and find an agency to start our Home Study. Luckily there was an agency right in our city that would do that for us.  After I called them and they told me they would gladly do our Home Study.  I went in to register with them only to find out how much work a Home Study can be!! The lady at the desk actually told me to take the packet that we were to go home and fill out and go and sit down in the waiting room and look through it.....just to make sure that we still wanted to go ahead with it.  I guess she thought that it might scare some people away....no way!!   So....from that night forward for about the next week.....my husband would get home from work and we would go through about 2 pages of  questions.  Eventually we got all the questions filled out in the booklet. Doing it in sections helped to not make some of the questions repetitive.

We have handed in everything thing that is to be done for the Home Study. By 11/08/2010 we have been fingerprinted, had a physical and filled out miles of forms and questionnaires.....knowing that it all is one step closer to getting our precious little boy or girl...a wonderful feeling!!

And now......more waiting.
