L-O-L-A....Lola!!
Our adoption specialist called us last night-what a nice Valentine's gift!! She seems very nice and laid back.
Our first meeting is next week.
We live SO STINKIN' FAR from everywhere!!! We have to go 1 1/2 hours and travel to a different time zone to meet! Sometimes it's nice to be centrally located, but it would be really nice to be located somewhere, right in the middle of where SOMETHING is actually going on!!! By the time we get done with homestudy meetings and agency meetings, traveling to China will seem like a piece of cake! (have I mentioned that our agency is 2 1/2 hours away?) ugh!!
Any-hoo, we're getting the ball rolling. Our SW (social worker-adoption specialist) wants to get all our meetings in within a couple weeks, so that will be really nice.
STILL waiting on our stupid immigration forms. I don't know WHAT has been going on with our mail lately, but in the past 2 weeks we've only gotten mail 3 days.....somebody's just obviously torturing me!
I guess I'll just go with the plan that on Friday I'll print off the forms myself if I haven't gotten them by then. I also have to get birth certificates and marriage licences. This is the ONE time I'm glad we live in the same area as where we were born, raised and married. If we were in a different state, we'd have to send through the EVIL, DREADED MAIL for all of that. So, that's a good thing. (I need to keep reminding myself of the GOOD things!!)
Seriously, this whole process is a good thing. As my husband reminded me tonight, it's all part of getting our daughter. I swear, 2 minutes of talking with him and I feel like such a loser!! He's such a good guy. He's everything I wish I could be.....I'm glad he's on my side!!
