Well, our homestudy got approved! What a nice way to end the year. I can't believe it's been 3 months since we've started this process. They said it would take about that long and they were totally right.
They sent us
a letter with barely a paragraph saying we are approved. Now, I'm not saying I'm not happy to be approved, but after putting us through the ringer of interviews, forms, and recommendations, you'd think there would be a little more fanfare to the completing of our homestudy. I don't know, would a cotillion or an elephant parade be too much to ask?
Looking forward into 2008, we have many things to do on the adoption front. We have to go to all of our workshops, prepare a "Dear Birthmother Letter", get a website up, find a pediatrician, and various miscellaneous legal things. I'll try to hit them as they happen. In the meantime, have a Happy New Year next week. Don't make any
resolutions you won't stick to!
is this what armageddon will look like?

just catching up on your adoption news - sounds like things are going swimmingly. hope you had a great holiday season full of mall angst and consumerist self-loathing.
my friends had 5 babies this month (different people), so looks like you are becoming more mainstream.
have a great new year! hope i can make one of my trips up again soon.
This is such wonderful news! Congratulations, Daddys-to-Be!
