Adoption Application Received

I posted the other day that we sent in the application to begin the private adoption process.  We heard back on Thursday that it was received.  Here was the e-mail, which arrived while we were having dinner,

I received your pre-application in the mail and am working on getting your application packet out to you!  S. . .  who I cc'd above will be doing your adoptive homestudy for you!  She will be getting ahold of your shortly to set up a time for you to meet to begin your study when you are ready!  We are looking forward to working with you!!

We received this shortly after we had met with our state Senator, Sara Howard, to discuss our foster care experiences with her, detailing how broken the foster system is.  So, it was great to receive this positive news so shortly after such a difficult topic of conversation.
