another one bites the dust!

Home study is done! Yippie!

We had our last home study visit today...get this....at home :)

It went well, our social worker talked to Holly and asked some general questions, then finished with asking us parenting, finance, and home questions. Then she took the nickel tour of the house and (drum roll) we were done.
She gave us some good pointers (things the Russian gov. likes) and I am sure it won't be the last time we see or talk to her, but I am glad to have that done.

When she got here at 10 am we offered her Cinnamon rolls and a drink. You know what she told us? That we are only the second family in 7 years of doing this, that have offered her food. Most people don't even offer her a water or anything else for that matter.... where are every one's manners!

Also we called AAI (adoption associates) and said we had some questions about our dossier but we had not been given a new consultant, I left a message for the woman we were hoping to get.
Who I am sure everyone wants because she is in Jenison and is the director of the Russian program. Her name is Alla. She called me back just a bit ago and...we got her! This is good because the other option was Farmington Hills and because she is the head honcho.
Anyway, got my questions answered and we should be able to get our initial packet (Dossier) completed and hopefully sent in, in 4-5 weeks.

Then it's just waiting for a referral from Russia, which can take some time but we have been told that our wait should not be too bad because we want two boys....fingers crossed!

As far as any new news from work....everything is up in the air. All that matters right this second is getting our Millage passed in May, then we can worry about what the city has planned for the FD. No millage...no job by July....plan and simple.

Thanks for the continued support and prayers!
