Started Home Study

The home study application has been submitted, one more thing checked off. Our homestudy will take visits. One as a family then each of us individually. Hopefully we can get this completed by the end of the month, so we can start our Dossier and actually get on the waiting list for our newest little one :)

Application 2 Approved!

We just received notification from our caseworker that applicaiton #2 is complete - - Yippee!!
Now onto the homestudy process. Hopefully, with us having already done this, it won't take 3 months like last time.

As a side note, Todd has had his cast removed and is on his way back to normal. Wednesday will be his first day back to work in 7 weeks!

We'll keep you posted as more happens.

Application part 2

Whew! Application part 2 is complete and in route to Dillon. This part took longer than expected, thanks to a major unexpected delay. Most of you have heard by now that Todd broke his leg Mid-May, which made some of the running around a little more difficult. But in any case it's in the mail. Hopefully we'll hear in the next two weeks that the approval is complete and that we can proceed with our home study. Our Case Worker is already aware of us needing another one, and with our past home study already on file it should go quicker. (Let's hope.) Hopefully by August we will be getting our Dossier (legal paperwork for the government of India) together. Only when this step is done, will we actually be on the waiting list for our newest addition. Thanks for everyones well wishes and prayers while we wait patiently for this process to run its course.

Update

Well we found out that our Medical appointments can first be scheduled for May. So until then our 2nd application cannot be submitted. This is just one of many different delays we will run into I'm sure. As always, we tell ourselves that God has a reason for every delay - they are all so when our referral number comes up the child that is meant for us is the one being referred.

Part 2 of the application process

Monday March 26th 2007, the packet has finally arrived. We are now gathering documents, scheduling doctor appointments and taking pictures. There are even more needed items, since we initially did this back in 2004. We are definitely not complaining, we know only to well what the outcome of this process will be. It will be oh so worth it and oh so forgotten once our child is in our arms.

We'll post more as it happens, but this is definitely the slower part.

The Beginning

Yesterday we received word that our first application to our 2nd Blessing From India was approved. We now wait the 2nd application and all the paperwork that goes along with it.
