I forgot to mention this with the last post of our final home study.

I think it was so cute I just have to share. To set the scene, we have been telling our Ahlyana about our Social Worker, Andrea. That she is coming over to help Mommy and Daddy bring home a new baby brother or sister for her. For all the visits she seemed to have understood what they were about. The day of our last visit, I was yet again telling her that Andrea was coming over to help us bring a baby brother or sister home. At the end of the meeting I was walking Andrea to the door and Ahlyana jumped on Dad's lap and started to cry - when I asked what was wrong she said " No, baby sister?????' We think she thought that Andrea was suppose to actually be bringing the baby with her and leaving the baby with us. It really was an "Oh how adorable moments".

A progress update: We are waiting for Dillon to approve the final home study then we'll be on to the Dossier...... Keep it coming :)

Last Home Study Visit

We are done with our last home study. In a couple of weeks the final document should be on its way to Dillon. Once that is done and our I600A, with fingerprints are done - we will be doing our final gathering of legal documents for the Dossier - and we'll be on the waiting list. We're getting there! Keep us in your prayers that this continues to move.

2nd Home Study done.

Well last night was #2 of the 3 home studies. One more to go(Wednesday) and we can check another step off. We are hoping it goes as smooth as our last one, which would mean it should be back to our agency by the end of August. Then onto our Dossier. Which we can hopefully get done by the end of September! Officially waiting by the end of October - oh how nice that will be, when it's down to just the wait of the referral.

As for us we are holding our own. Ahly has cut her two year molars, so we hope we're done with the running nose and fevers that she seems to get with them.

This also should have been the week that we were in Oklahoma for the India Heritage Camp with a lot of Ahly's little crib mates. But because of Todds broken leg, we were unable to make it. Maybe next year we'll have "two" - - could it be possible. We can't wait to hear how it went! We were even a little more disappointed because we heard that the director of the orphanage, Anju, was also suppose to be there.

More as it happens.....
