Quick Update

So we got a bit of good news today. Both our home study and profile have been approved so we're pretty much good to go. We hit Staples tonight to get our profile all printed up on fancy paper, in color, with a cool binder thingy holding it all together. What we needed to do was, to make ten copies and tomorrow I'll mail them to the adoption agency in Portland. Once they receive them (the mail takes one day here in Maine, so they'll get it Thursday), we'll officially be in circulation.

So that means no more paperwork...just lots and lots and lots of waiting to get picked. Basically whenever the phone rings, my first thought is going to be "is this the call?". Everyone involved in the process has told us that chances are we won't have to wait too long due to our age and openness (in regards to the sex/ethnicity of the baby). Hearing that is nice, but it's going to make it that much tougher if it doesn't happen sooner rather than later. And what is soon anyway? Two months? Four months? Six months? We've waited this long, so what's a bit longer right? Plus, it's all worth it in the end...
