So, I kissed the mail...

Got your attention, didn't I? On Thursday I mailed off our profile books to Florida, but before I took them in to the post office I gave them a kiss for good luck :) According to USPS tracking, they left a notice at Shepherd Care today, so they should have our profile books and application paperwork by Monday.

Here's the scoop on what we're still waiting for:

• Clearance from the County: I'm taking the form by Monday, and hoping they process quickly
• Homestudy: Our social worker is finalizing it this weekend, sending to her boss to review on Monday, and then to the State for final approval.

We have our fingers crossed that this is all complete and mailed to Florida next week....  Then we only have to wait for a birthmom to select us. Yippee!!

HUGE NEWS!!

We've been very quiet the last few months, but we've been busy mulling over many facets of our adoption. In the end, we have decided to end our adoption from Ethiopia and begin a domestic adoption through an agency in Florida, Adoption by Shepherd Care. Some dear friends have brought their 2 beautiful daughters home through Shepherd Care.

Now we're through a lot of the paperwork, and have completed our profile books for birthmothers to review. We hope to be officially waiting for the call very soon...

More to come--stay tuned :)
