Update On Adoption Process

We had the 3rd part of our home study last night! This part was actually at our house this time :) Went well and we turned in more paperwork and our profile. From the beginning I said I was going to wait to make copies until after we had someone from the agency take a look at what we put together and make comments. Of course I was really excited when we finally finished it up and went and made copies. Then last night she made some suggestions to add to what we had, which we hadn't thought of and agreed with. She did take some with her, but we'll make some changes and make more copies :) That's what I get for jumping the gun!

Now we wait...and get the last of the little but of paperwork finished up...
