At a Stand-Still

I wish I could give y'all an update that things are moving along with the adoption process, but things have come to a stand-still.

Ne.w Begin.nings

• We got a call from them a week ago to let us know that our applications were being reviewed and we would be told soon whether it was accepted or not.
• We're waiting on them to send us two more forms to fill out. I asked for them to be sent a few weeks ago, but we still haven't gotten them. I sent an email asking for them again yesterday.
• We still need to get our medical clearances. I'm going to do my pre-op for my foot surgery on Wednesday so I'll have her fill mine out then. I'm hoping she'll also fill out J's form based on the appt she had with him a few months ago for our home study. If not, then he'll have to make another appt to go see her. (Lord only knows when he'll have the time for that!)
• We have a few more forms to send in, but I'm waiting to send them in with the ones that they need to send us so that we're not mailing a bunch of separate envelopes. I'm trying to make things as easy as possible.
• We need to write and turn in our Dear Birth Mother letter. We've been working on it, but it's just not coming along as well as I thought it would. Of course if my husband would have osme time to help me out it might come along a little faster.
• We need to turn in our photo book. They're sitting here ready to be mailed in...just waiting on approval and our Dear BM letter to be finished

St. Eliz.abe.th's

• We've turned in the whole application minus J's medical form. (Same scenario as above.)
• I'm guessing they are waiting on J's medical form to approve us.
• We need to write the Dear Birth Mother letter.
• We need to turn in our photo book

So that's what's left to do in order for us to be "paper pregnant" and officially on the waiting list. I'm still hoping to have everything in by late June.
