2 months

I realized today it has been two months since we went to our first meeting about Korean adoption. It feels like longer than that, but I think that is because for a few months before that we were working on paperwork for a Chinese adoption. I feel like things are moving very very slowly with our homestudy, but I think I am just antsy and anxious for it to be finished so we can get the ball rolling. I heard from our social worker and we have our second meeting in a few weeks (finally) and I think the third and final visit can be set up really soon after that. This can be such a hard process because everything is so out of my hands to a point. I know God has a plan for our family and has little Leah safely in His care. But I just can't wait until the day we get our referral on our baby girl. And I have a picture - and can look at her!! Weekends are hard because I know I can't call our agency and bug them - sigh. I am sure they are happy to have a break from anxious adoptive parents like me!!
Happy Saturday everyone. I will now go stalk those of you who have brought your adoptive little ones home and sigh about how darn cute they are!!

Thanksgiving Day

We had a wonderful day yesterday. We told the rest of our family we are adopting and they were all very excited. And of course, had lots of questions we were happy to answer! I am so relieved everyone knows now, I feel like it is really happening.
Our social worker finally has everything on us she needs and we get to have our second homestudy in a few weeks. She is out of town all next week. I guess the holidays can slow down this process.......
Our first parenting meeting is this Thursday. We are required to attend 4, and the last one is the second week in January. I am really hoping to have our homestudy completed by then - even with the holidays. I will push it thru!!!
We have so much to be Thankful for this year - Happy Thanksgiving everyone!
