Who has the ball?

Well it is out of our hands at this point! Like it ever was!!! We have completed all the paperwork we can at this point and have paid our fees. Now we get to wait for our Homestudy to be scheduled and once that is done we will then be waiting on our federal paperwork to come back and then we might get to see some light at the end of the tunnel.

There are so many other things going on right now that it feels like a huge mountain (of paper) has been lifted off of us and now we can focus on a few other things that need to be attended to, WT, the house, each other, the family, our friends, our jobs... I have to attribute our success to the "queen of organization" - Connie! I am not poking fun, I am giving her all the credit in the world - she is the BEST! While the process thus far has only sparked a few disagreements and a few cross words, it has been her ability to keep things straight and being the driving force that things got done as easily as it has!

Well that is all from the land of wind and weather.

Hello,
I am Joy. We are also in the process of adopting from Russia. I hope you do not mind if I read along.

Your recount of the early days of the process made me remember how scared and excited I was to finally start. Good Luck with the paperwork. If can make a suggestion. I use a 3 ring binder and the clear inserts to put all my documents into so that they do not get wrinkled or dirty.
