We are still Moving Forward

This is an update picture we got of her a while back. She looks like she loves the bath.

Keep moving forward.... Don't you just love the movie "Meet the Robinson's" I love the motto Keep Moving Forward from it. In life you must keep moving forward or you will never learn, never progress. The adoption process at times is very slow but we keep moving forward. Sometimes its ever so slowly, sometimes quickly. Lately it seems like very very slow but at least we are moving forward. Once in a while you take a step back and then keep moving forward. Here's our step back:

There was an error on our homestudy, I caught it right before we were going to send it in. I thought I had better read through it just to make sure. Well my name in one spot was a different name. I contacted our social worker and she said she must have been talking to her neighbor with that name when she was doing that part. I laughed and told her I do that sometimes too. We also had to add something on Dakota's part since he is 18, he will need to get fingerprints and his stuff has to be added on there as well. We just got the error fixed and his stuff added and now we should be filing for our I-800A. I swear its always something. So now we are moving forward again after a little kickback.

Our agency said we should travel in about 10-13 weeks (knock on wood)

I found a picture that our agency sent in an update we have one other one of Zoie in a little dress with a necklace on but I can't get it to save in jpeg format. It was included on the end of an update in a word document so if you know how to get a picture to save from Word or Adobe to a jpeg so I can post it let me know.

Homestudy Approved

So our SW emailed and said she finally got approval of our homestudy from our agency. They didn't have it the first week so I emailed them and had to have the SW email it again last week. They reviewed it and gave our SW the Certification of Approval on Monday. We are picking it up on Friday and then can apply for our I-800A.

Now we will apply for the I-800A and wait again to get everything. It is such a waiting game adoption really tries your patience sometimes but you just have to remember that we can't control it and the paperwork will work out and it will happen when it happens.
