Tonight we completed the adoption application packet!
We got all these forms and this checklist months ago and have been slowly working on it for a while. The main hang up the last two months was waiting to get our fingerprint checks back from the FBI; those arrived over the weekend.
So, we went back over everything to make sure we had filled out all the forms, copied all the documents they wanted copies of, etc. And then we put it all in the envelope to send on to the agency. This will allow them to complete all their paperwork and the homestudy that they did in the autumn.
Now, we largely enter another waiting game. While we wait, we will continue working on our photo book and need to meet again with the bank to discuss financing options and with our attorney to wrap up some legal matters.
On another fun note, I bought a stuffed elephant for the future baby, and it arrived on St. Valentine's Day.
