It Is Finished

...our homestudy that is. I have in my hand a finalized, notarized homestudy. It's beautiful!!


Haha, man it feels good to have this part of the process complete. Things have kind of been in a holding pattern for a while and now all of the sudden it is moving at lightning speed. Now that our homestudy is complete I need to fill out the I-800a form which is basically a form to determine that we are suitable to adopt a child from a Hague country. While I await approval from United States Immigration I will finish up our dossier which is already close to completion.

We now await the news from America World that we are officially registered in India. At that point we will actually be waiting on a match. I don't even want to say this for fear of jinxing the whole process but...we should be registered in India by next week. That means that India and our organization will be looking through the waiting children list for a child that matches our homestudy specifications.Although the wait for our child has been in my heart for years we are finally so close to that part of our journey. If we get word this week you can bet I will be posting an update. In the meantime I will be diligently working on our immigration paperwork, finishing up an assigned book on adoption and searching out adoption grants. We are one gigantic step closer to our little girl.
