http://mythoughtsthroughthejourneyofadoption.blogspot.com/2010/03/completely-overwhelmed.html
March 24, 2010. I know, it's been a long time since i've visited here.

August 06, 2010. Time Flies When You Are Having Fun. We had our APQ interview and met our personal social worker and adoption coordinator that will be with us throughout the rest of the journey. During the interview our adoption specialist goes through each question and each answer and lets us know how our decisions may or may not effect our match. We got a great big "high five" from our coordinator and were told we could not have done a better APQ. YES! So keep your fingers crossed that all goes well!

August 11, 2010. Request For Live Scans and Please Don't Forget to Include Your Entire Personal History. We got through our first home study interview! In all honesty, it wasn't much of an interview. It was more like a "here is another pile of redundant forms and paperwork"meeting. I am not discouraged. In fact, I haven't even slowed down. I have this goal in mind, you know, that six week goal. And, I will not fail that goal by fault of my own. Period! Love to you all! Links to this post. August 06, 2010.

February 16, 2010. Well, we did it! I'm happy to report that we have sent in our first initial non-refundable payment and step one of the application process! I can't begin to express our excitement! I'll admit I thought this moment would never come. It seemed like such a huge step, this big hill of many to come.
