Being busy makes the time fly!!

Wow!! We have been soooo busy the last few weeks, where did March go??
Not all of the things we've been busy with have been good things, but we've gotten through them alive and well----and exhausted!!
On the adoption front, we are now done with our homestudy. We had our last meeting last week. We were able to meet a couple who adopted last December and their 2 daughters. It was really nice to talk to "seasoned survivors" and know that it can be done! Their daughters were adorable, one from China and one biological girl. They really took to Jeff and I right away.
Ha--stick THAT in your dossier and smoke it!! We are good with kids--WOO HOO!!
We left with a really good feeling that this is what we're meant to do. And we WILL survive. It may be touch and go at times, but we'll "git r done"!
We are waiting for our passports to come in the mail. Hopefully within the next couple of weeks.
Our homestudy report should be done in the next couple of weeks too. Then we will get an FBI fingerprint appointment. I'm actually looking forward to it. Jeff and I get to take a day off work and spend it in Indy. The actual appointment should take a few minutes, and add 3 or 4 hours of waiting at the office, and we should have a few minutes to shop or eat or something!
We've gotten most of our paperwork done.
We have our medical reports done, our work reference letters are done, our police clearance letters are done, our financial statement, application letter, done and done.
The big thing now is our homestudy report, fingerprints and immigration clearance.
Once we get all that, we'll take another trip to Indy to the state house and the adoption agency. Then---Bon Voyage dossier!! Hopefully we'll be sending it off sometime this summer. (the immigration clearance letter takes a month or two to come)
Jeff and I went over the costs and when money is due. We're thinking maybe we can pay for most everything if we save money every month (and eat bread for the next year!!) Our son REALLY wants to go. It looks like it's going to be about $5000 just for him. So we told him to either find a hobby that pays well or really suck up to the grandparents!!
