Its All a Wait

So we are totally done with our paperwork. We have been since the begining of March. The only thing we are waiting on is our Homestudy...so I guess that means that we aren't really done with our paperwork. The HomeStudy is a report written by a social work agency after a series of interviews and meetings that basically sums up that/why we are qualified to be adoptive parents, our parenting styles, family histories, health, etc, etc. So we have had all of our interviews for this one peice except the last one - which is where they actually come to your house and just to make sure you really do have enough bedrooms, that it is livable, etc. The problem we had with scheduling this last appointment (the only thing in the way from getting us on the official wait list) was a stupid clearance from the State of GA where I lived for 9 months right after college. The deal is that you have to get a clearance from every state you have lived in since you were 18 to make sure you haven't had any child welfare stuff on your record. The social work agency won't schedule that last HomeStudy appointment visit until all of these are in. Apparently GA changed their procedure so the first application and money order we sent went into some black hole somewhere and we were just waiting for nothing. The social work agency finally did some digging and we got it all straightened out and sent a new app and new money order overnight and finally a month after all the rest, my clearance came and we were able to schedule the visit. Crazy how just one little glitch can put you back a whole month. So anyway - our final interview/home visit is Wed! Yeah! Then it will take them a week or so to finish up the actual report, another week (hopefully) to get it approved by our Adoption Agency (to make sure it has the appropriate wording, etc) and then we will be oficially done with our paperchasing!!! Yeah!!!!! Have I said YEAHH yet? I am not in a rush, but I hate having things hanging over my head. So lets pray that by the end of March - okay April 1st, we are on the offical waiting list!!!
Okay - thought I would give a little detail about the process. Be thankful that I didn't start blogging when we first started all the paperwork. It is crazy!
