Week 5 - Gathering of Documents

Not too much to report here...just going about the gathering of what seems like a million documents for our dossier. Dropped off our request today for police letters of clearance to prove we weren't serial criminals in a previous life. The USCIS cashed our check this week for our petition to adopt an international orphan, so we know that things are moving along on that front, too. We've finished up our homestudy visits and our social worker is just waiting on me to finalize my job situation before she writes up our home study. Sometimes, late at night, it really seems as though this adoption is finally going to happen. Then I wake up in the morning and it still seems so far away. I know we'll get there...after all - even the turtle can cross 1,000 miles if he just keeps walking.
