The Official Application Is Submitted!!

Jason and I worked into the wee hours the past couple of nights working through the fairly thick packet of documents we had to complete to submit our adoption application. We had to track down all of our living addresses over the past 10 years, lots of financial info- copies of W2's and paystubs, bank statements, 401k and investment statements. There were all sorts of medical and health questionnaires. But the bottom line is that we got it done! Lillie and I went down to Hope Cottage today and handed it all in along with our check to pay for the home study. So now we are waiting to be contacted by our case worker!

A sweet high school girl babysat the kids for me tonight so that I could go to a neighborhood game night. Josh was showing her his room and said, "And we have a baby coming really soon! It's a baby that needs a family and is growing in a different mommy's tummy." It was really cute!
