Hey Everyone! Our home study visit was this morning and it went great! It was completed without any trouble - including any from V who was AWESOME the whole time! He played, watched his "ABC" movie, ate lunch and went to bed without any complaint. His cooperation was a huge blessing.
It should take about two weeks for our report to be written up. Then we (and several other people) will review it before it is finalized and sent to CIS. So we are hoping that we will get fingerprinted by the end of December at the latest, but I don't honestly know if that is an accurate guess as to the timing of it all.
Please continue to pray that the process will go smoothly. Today was an awesome day!

The Home Study is Scheduled!!!
We are so excited! We got a call two days ago from Amy Curtis to schedule our home study! Not only that, but I talked to her about our living situation and the fact that Hank and Lindsay's baby would not be born for a few more weeks and she said that we would not need to do a follow-up visit! That means that she will only need to meet with us for four hours on the 18th! We were under the impression that it would take multiple visits plus an update after Henry is born. So that is GREAT news!
While we wait for the home study we are continuing our work on our dossier. We are about halfway through that paperwork. So here is what the rest of the paperwork adventure will look like:
Once the home study is complete it will be sent to Gladney and we will be officially approved to adopt through their program. We will then be passed off to Abbey Reeves who is our Ethipia caseworker - she will help us complete our dossier.
During all of this, our home study will also be sent to CIS. Once CIS receives it they will schedule us for our fingerprinting. The fingerprinting will take a few weeks to complete.
After our dossier and fingerprinting are all finished we will be placed on the waitlist! Our best guess is that it will be early February when that finally happens. We can't wait to wait! :)
