Category Archives: Adoption Preparation I was so happy to get our dossier folder last weekend…and even happier to see that we really have everything about 90% done with it! The only thing we lack…well, is what we have lined up for Tuesday (our labwork) and our final homestudy interview Monday after next…and pictures, pictures, pictures. We have to take […] They all turned out great!!! I thought Parker was going to go with the "cowboy" pirate? I guess after looking at that magazine he decided a pirate one would be better. 🙂 so cute…I did this last year (but we bought them instead of making them) AND we stuck a Lucy Lane in the mix DREAMING about our new baby..and so funny to look at it now WHEN she's home with us..yayyyy…you'll be there so soon 🙂 kristi Love the scarecrow! We had our final homestudy appt. Friday and I took all of our house pictures before she arrived 🙂 Our homestudy report should be done Wednesday and then our Dossier should be done by Friday! We are so excited. Since you guys are going to be on the same time frame as us…I bet we will travel together to get our sweet babies!!! How cool is that thought? Love the scarecrow- I think a baby one would be cute 🙂 Hey, you are almost there! Yeah!!! Love the scarecrows. Luke did too! Called you today. Call me when you have some time! 🙂 Time….I know – HA!

I’m also helping during the conference […] Enjoy the conference! an earthworm? WOW! That is crazy! Boys are great! One thing at a time…now that we’re done with our homestudy paperwork, we just have our physicals and our parent education to knock out…and well some educating before we can say Adios to our homestudy. SO…we’re officially being educated—and this should make for lots of interesting time together (have you ever had to sit in […] Oh yes, the classes….well they are great, and sooo much fun. Ok well maybe not really fun, but they are informational. So just remember to get as much out of it as possible. Just don't let them scare you either. Jason & I always say if everyone read and believed everything they ever heard about adoption- no one would do it!!!! |
