I 600A SUBMITTED TODAY

MORE PAPERWORK COMPLETED TODAY AND SENT OFF TO UPDATE OUR HOMESTUDY.SO MUCH PAPERWORK TO DO, IT GOES ON FOREVER. LOOKING INTO BOOKS ABOUT WHERE WE ARE GOING TO SHOW OUR CHILDREN.WE ARE ALL VERY EXCITED INCLUDING OUR LITTLE ONES ,IT IS HARD FOR THEM TO REALIZE IT TAKES
A LOT OF WORK AND WAITING BEFORE WE CAN GET OUR LITTLE ONES HOME.

We spent Friday afternoon getting our passport photos taken and our passport applications filled
out and submitted at the post office.We also had to drive 85 miles to another county to get copies
of our marriage license, it is still hard to believe we are finally starting on our way to making this
all happen, it is very involved and sometimes complicated but the final results (when we bring our children home) will all be very worth it. Saturday we drove to see one of our older children and grandson for a quick visit. We had time during the drive to fill out more paperwork and to talk about everything we've done so far and the many things we have left to do, every little step we take is one more step closer to our babies. Yes, Jody now reliazes it is possible to be away from the computer for a few hours without the world coming to an end.

Pickup paperwork day

Did lots of running around today gathering birth certificates, passport paperwork,home deed and talked to a local adoption agency to get our homestudy started. We are getting more excited each day because we are able to see pictures of our new angels, but the wait is going to be very difficult as we are just begining our journey.

WE ARE JUST STARTING OUR JOURNEY TO GET OUR CHILDREN.

WE ARE GETTING EVERYTHING TOGETHER TO UPDATE OUR HOMESTUDY, AND GET ALL OUR PAPER WORK IN ORDER.WE ARE VERY EXCITED TO START THIS JOURNEY.TO BRING OUR NEW CHILDREN HOME.WE WILL BE WATCHING THOSE WHO ARE TRAVELING NOW TO GET THEIR CHILDREN,SO WE WILL HAVE SOME IDEA OF WHAT OURS WILL BE LIKE. THE TRAVELING PART IS GONNA BE AN ADVENTURE, I HAVE NEVER BEEN ON A PLANE , SO THERE FOR NEVER BEEN OUT OF OUR COUNTRY.
