Pending Approval

We got it done! Actually, I'm a bit behind on updating. I got all my questions answers a little over a week ago, and Brian had been working on his over last weekend. We both got them done and we were able to mail out our entire application on Tuesday! Minus my physical, which isn't scheduled until the end of this month. Funny that I have been to see a DR at least twice a month for the last 2 1/2 years and yet they still need to see me for an actual physical.

So now we wait. I still have this sinking feeling that something will come up and we won't get approved. I know it's probably silly. What more could they be looking for in adoptive parents, but still, the fear won't leave me. I keep praying that our paperwork gets processed quickly, our back ground checks go through without a hitch and we get matched with our social worker before we know it. But nothing in the category of "starting my family" has ever gone off without a hitch, so why would this?

We are scheduled for our adoption classes on April 15-16th, so that's the next step at this point.

I am still planning on having a garage sale and really appreciate everyone that has already volunteered some items for our sale. I haven't nailed down a date yet, I'm hoping to do that in the next week or two so I can recruit some help for pricing things, and help the weekend of. I really can't thank everyone enough for your support. It means the world to us!

We are always looking for new and fun ways to try and scrape together the money that we'll need to bring our baby home. So, if you have any other fund raising type ideas, please feel free to share them with us!
