Homestudy

Well, Lori will be at our house Tuesday, January 18th at 11:00 for our first homestudy! We hope to have the other done Friday. I have all the papers ready (except for the ones that had to be mailed) and should be completely done by the time she gets here! This process takes about 2 months (hopefully shorter) to finish. After it's done and we get the ok from the agency about our dossier (think that takes about 2 weeks) we fill out the application to get our fingerprints done. While that process is at work (I think it takes up to 6 weeks) we will be getting all the other paperwork done. I'm not sure how long all this will take, but I'm thinking up to 5-6 months. Then, the dossier is sent to China and then our Zoey is picked for us (unless we have found her before then!) That wait time is totally up to the perfect child being available for us! So..alot left to do, but getting them done as quickly as possible! Just keep praying for the 6 of us here and for Zoey. We don't know if she is/has/will have to undergo surgery for whatever her medical condititon is or where she is living or anything. We just want her to be well and stay well. We just can't wait to see what beautiful little China girl God is going to give to us that we will name Zoey! It's so exciting!!!

Well....first big check down!

Today, we got all the agreements and fee pages signed and notorized and sent our first agency fee to CCAI! This really means we are doing this again. Now we wouldn't get much money back if we turned back, so it's a big deal!!! Next big thing is the homestudy and I hope we get it done sometime in the next week or so!
Zoey, get ready sweetie...we are gonna work as fast as we can to get to you! Stay well and don't get too big!! :) I hope to see you and hold you in our arms for the first time in about a year!!! We love you!!!
