dossier and homestudy update!

I have actually been surprised on how quickly this is all coming together. It hasn't been near as hard as I thought it would be. I just pray that the Lord continues to go before us on each piece of paperwork.

We have already completed:

power of attorney forms
statement of reason to adopt
photos of family
photos of house
employment letters for both of us(yes, you have to do one even if you are a stay at home mom)
birth certificates for both
marrige license
obligation of post placement report

Need to complete:

photocopy of passports for both w/ notary sheet
medical letters(going in for TB test on Monday...get results and exams Wednesday)
financial statement(notary accidently messed up this one...have to redo)
police clearance for both(supposed to be ready tomorrow..believe that when I see it)
two letters of reference(both said they would be ready by Wednesday)

To my delight, my case worker called Tuesday and asked if we were available for this Saturday!! Yes, Yes, Yes!!!!!!!!!!!!! I wasn't expecting her for a couple weeks!!!

This whole process is amazing and the thrill I get when I check one more thing off our list is sooo great!!

My goal is to have all our paperwork for the dossier done by next week...hopefully Wednesday. Then we will just be waiting on E to type up our home study. Thinking that will take a couple weeks.

My goal when we started was to be on the waitlist by Thanksgiving. Now I am thinking it will be next month. You never know, if everything goes smoothly and no revisions have to be made on anything, we could POSSIBLY be on the waitlist this month!!! That would be CrAzY!!!!!!

Now to Him who is able to do far more abundantly beyond all that we ask or think, according to the power that works within us. Ephesians 3:20

Here are my three little guys yesterday outside the capital building...only took 5 quick minutes to get the POA state certified.....
