One More Tiny Little Step

Nothing major to report but we did get an email from our placement agency worker saying that they have reviewed our home study and it looks great! I forwarded the email to our home study agency and social worker so they can get our original finalized and ready to be sent off with our dossier! Hopefully we can have our names on THE LIST by next week-just in time for my birthday next Saturday-what a great birthday gift this would be!
More good news from the placement agency online group-someone received a referral for a 1 month old baby girl! Our worker says there are 10 people on the baby boy list but some of them are on more than one list (girl, sibling, etc.). Like my Dad says God knows which baby He created for us and we will get him no matter what number we are on the list or how long it takes!

Update on Progress

So we finally got all of our paperwork ready for certification except for our home study. The people we had notarize all of our forms happen to have their notary paperwork bonded in different counties. This means to have everything certified at county level we have to go to 4 different counties. So since Joel was off work yesterday we drove to 3 counties and got all of our paperwork certified. Now we just have to wait until our home study is notarized and certified by our local agency then we can take all the paperwork to Frankfort to be certified at state level. The bad thing about this is it costs $5 at county level for each page as well as $5 per page at state level and as you can see by the picture there are plenty of pages! I just hope and pray everything is done completely correct and nothing has to be redone!

Fifi's haircut

As everyone knows adopting is not cheap so we are trying to save money where we can. So today I decide to groom (bathe, haircut, blow-dry)FiFi at home since it's hard to pay more for your dogs haircut than for your own. Let's just say she's not too happy with me right now and we may need to look into cutting back in other areas:)
