We were completely overwhelmed, however, to learn of all the things we still need to do before getting approved. I tell you, the paperwork is endless. Endless! Still, we are happy that things are moving forward. If our fingerprints come back on time, and if we dedicate some serious hours and effort to finishing all the paperwork, we are looking at being officially approved sometime around mid-May! Hooray!

Adoption Update
Our home study on Saturday morning went well! Our case worker, Wendy, showed up at 8:00. We gave her a thorough tour of our house. Then Katelee had a little 'interview' with Wendy. Luckily, Katelee woke up cheerful and talkative, and was her usual cute self. Wendy asked her questions about her life, what she likes to do, how she feels about adoption, how she feels about being a big sister, what happens when she is punished, what she is punished for, and what she does with her mommy and daddy. Katelee talked away and gave adorable, perfect answers to everything. Then Gerald and I each had to meet with Wendy individually for about an hour. This section of the home study is jokingly called the 'Drug, Sex, and Rock and Roll,' portion of the interview. I think you get the idea of some of the things we discuss. Lots of fun! ;) Seriously, we feel that everything went well and it is nice to have it done.

ReplyDeleteThat is good news! Thanks for the great update. I can't believe how old Katelee is looking! My goodness!
ReplyDeleteA family in our ward here just found out they are getting a little girl in July and they are sooooo excited and happy. It's their first baby and they will tell you the process is worth it! And by the way you're not biased, Katelee is a beautiful in her Easter dress.
