Home study complete

Hooray! We got an unexpected surprise in the mail today...our completed home study. I did a little boogie-ing, despite my non-boogie-ing post-op orders.

Lucas and I were pretty impressed with ourselves for filling out that much paperwork. You don't realize it's that much until you look at that big, fat wad all in one stack.

You better believe I'll be at the post office first thing tomorrow morning, express mailing our home study up to Immigration so we can get moving on our immigration approval. Well, maybe it will be Lucas at the post office and not me, seeing as how I can't drive just yet. I love my errand boy.

Yippeeeee!!!

Do you know that most of the folks I know adopting from Rwanda have gone ahead and sent our dossiers without waiting for USCIS. Our research all said that we do not need that until we go over to pick up our child. Are you waiting on that to send your dossier? It saves you anywhere from 2-6 months to go ahead and send your dossier.
