Packaging it all up!

As I sit here watching my DVRed Jimmy Fallon, (because there is no way I could stay up late enough to watch it live!) I am updating our "Prospective Adoptive Parent Biographical Information."  It did not take me long. I sat with our last home study next to me and checked each section.  Many of them will include the same information we gave in 2009, in sections as, child rearing philosophy, our marriage relationship, education, religious/spiritual, family background, health (praise God!) and thoughts on adoption.  The sections I needed to update were home/community, employment (I HAVE NONE!), children (we added one), and leisure/recreational.  What, you ask, may have changed in our leisure/recreational activities?  Oh, just that we are oldER now and may not be playing the sports we used to enjoy as often:-)

Currently Emery is in New York and when he returns he will look over these, to make sure I didn't lie on them. After it gets the editors approval, I will make copies of EVERYTHING....approximately 29 pages.  It will then be packaged up and sent off to the adoption agency.  I plan to have them in the mail Monday (no pressure Emery.)

Then the ball is in their court.  They will need to review all these documents, probably visit with us and update the home study.  So that's where we are right now. Each little step is one step closer to bringing a sister home to these little guys and a daughter for us. 

 

 

 

For now, life goes on.... This weekend we celebrate Xavier's 3rd birthday! 3 years this little ball of energy has been in our lives.  He's so busy and always says the funniest things.  Isaiah, a little shy at first, but when you get to know him he is a goofball.  He has such a dynamic personality and is good at just about anything he tries!  Makes me think about what the 3rd child will be like....Hmmm.......
