On Thursday evening our local social worker stopped by to pick up the massive amounts of forms we needed to turn over so she could start writing the home study. We also turned in our 10 hours of adoption learning, which we actually did 11.5, but decided to switch one of our classes at last minute. It was a good one, so I'm glad we did. I'm SO excited for the day that the SD CPS clearances come in the mail, it feels like these will be the last to arrive before sending in the home study for approval.
On Friday I f.i.n.a.l.l.y finished our photo book, it took FOREVER!!! I'd say probably a month at best because I kept changing things and wondering if it was the right picture to put in or if I should switch pictures around. Man...this was a task, but it is SO much fun to see the final product. I have to say that I love it and hope that an expectant parent will see a small glimpse in our lives and want us to be parents to their baby.
We also met with our chaplain on Friday evening, it was a great meeting and he'd be honored to be our reference for the adoption.
Yesterday was fun, we went to our friends new home, had lunch and chatted for 5 hours. Came back to base to go trick or treating with their 15 month old son, he was a monkey and a very cute monkey! It was nice outside so that was nice for a change. Over here in Germany they do things a bit different, celebrating earlier and it was massive people everywhere! Nonetheless, it was fun, and now I know what to expect for next year and hopefully we'll have our baby along for the enjoyment.
Well I need to go make hubby some breakfast! Have a great day!
