Paperwork, Paperwork, Paperwork and more paperwork..

I am sure this is just the start of all the paperwork, but I already have a binder full. Right now the hurdle seems to be proving our income to the SDA. We are self employed and they don't like what our taxes show! Oh well, Nina will find a way around it - I hope! Any suggestions from anyone that has had this situation?

And the Journey begins..

Dan and I finally made he decision to go forward with adding to our family. The final decision maker was right after Christmas when we went to visit one of my best friends, The Smiths, who recently adopted two daughtersfrom the Ukraine. That's all it took for Dan! He was hooked! Steph was also very excited at the thought of not being an only child anymore, which is pretty cool when you are a Junior in High School. So I made the appointment with the local adoption agency and we have had our first appointment and received all the paperwork the needed to have filled out and have returned it.

In the mean time, HAL was able to give me the name of the wonderful person they used as their facilitator and I have been in email contact with here.

It still is a bit overwhelming some days as I seem to think and dream about the future all the time!
