This past week has been quite a whirlwind of activities. After spending 8 days in GA visiting my grandma (a great time!), we drove the 12 hours home and hit the ground running. I picked up our completed medical forms at the Dr's office and was preparing to mail them to our home study agency when I noticed that they had written CURT'S medical information on MY form, and vice versa! Ugh. Simple mistake, and I don't blame them, considering that we had handed them 6 extra forms for our adoption medicals. But I was in such a hurry to get these forms sent in that it took all my courage not to breakdown in tears! Of course, after another trip to their office I was able to get the forms re-written with the correct info and get them off in the mail a half hour later.
The home study agency received our entire packet of paperwork on Wednesday and it spent 3 days in review with the director. This morning, Monday, I got an e-mail that we have been assigned a caseworker and she should be contacting me "shortly" to schedule our home study and interviews! I have no idea what "shortly" means. Hopefully just a day or two. I also have no idea what the home study really entails... I guess we will find out!
Thankfully there is enough happening at home to keep me busy this week, so I'm only obsessing over the adoption about 10 times a day instead of 100. :-) Evie started kindergarten and is LOVING it. She has a Chinese session each day with their Mandarin instructor, who is Chinese herself, and I'm kind of jealous! I want to go too! Instead, Corbin and I are watching Kai-lan on Nick Jr. :-) But we can tell each other "I love you" in Mandarin now.
Wǒ ài nǐ!
Please pray for us this week, that our caseworker moves quickly and that we find favor with her! Also for Evie's school experience and our new routine at home. Thank you for your support! It's really encouraging to have family and friends joining us on this adoption journey!
