...and we're live!

Today our adoption profile went up!
I got an email from our caseworker that said
"you'll be live by 6pm."
I called my sister immediately to tell her today was the day.
She called me back 10 minutes later
to tell me "IT'S UP!"
My parents brought over a "party pie"
to celebrate that our profile is officially up and running.
We're live people, we're live!

Almost there...

We are procrastinators.
But that's when we do our best work.
With that negative turned in to a positive we have finally turned in our adoption paperwork....
at MIDNIGHT!
What a relief.
Our case worker is currently working on our file.
We will have our profile up before the weekend.
Aughhhhh.
I'm getting butterflies.
The good kind.

Home Study

Well this is very behind.
But yes, we did indeed have our home study.
Our case worker walked around and we proved that we have a fit home.
What makes a fit home?
Well....
an evacuation plan, window locks, cupboard locks, fire extinguishers, first aid kits,
the gas and electrical phone number etc...
You name the number we have it posted!
She took notes about our backyard and garage.
She asked which room would eventually be the nursery...and took more notes.
We went over our birth parent letter that still isn't done,
and looked at some pictures we should submit.
She was here for a couple of hours moving that pen across her clipboard.
She said that everything "looks good."
She also said "okay lets try to have you guys up and going by June 20th"
That means we will have our profile up on the internet for any birth mother to see.
Holy Cow that is coming right up.
