Our dear friend there, Charlie (aka paperwork nazi!) took our months of hard work and gave us the best advice ... let her be in charge for a while. Stop worrying, stressing, and focusing on this; she said we had accomplished a great task in getting this in, and we need to celebrate that!
So a lot of you follow me on facebook personally, so you know most of the "checkins" we had to do for this packet. Just to give you an image ...
- Criminal background checks from the police station downtown
- Psychological evaluations and personality testing
- Physical exams including TB and drug tests
- Fingerprinting
- Life story paperwork, LOL for both of us, our childhoods, our families ...
So we are taking a break for this weekend, not thinking about any of it. We have already heard back from Charlie with some things she needs, and how great we did. Talk about feeling GOOD!
Thank you for all your prayers and encouragement .... please keep thinking about us as we move into a phase of waiting ... we now wait for them to look at it all, talk about us, ask for more stuff ... and then eventually we we will start the home study! Then, we are live and available. WOW.
Much love,
Relieved Mommy!
