Homestudy Finalized. Now to step 2....

Our homestudy was finalized end of May/beginning of June.  WOOWOO! let me first acknowledge that task....... It took just over 4 months -which during the time you are going through it seems like an eternity- but even if you think, oh, I got this, it won't take us that long, oh yes sir, it will, because we were on top of it all, they needed something, BAM, we were on it, but no matter what you do I tell you you will wait on other places and papers and theres no going around the wait and the months it takes.  But we are Done. Done. Done, Yeah Buddy!
OK, now that I have taken a second to give the finalization its 'props' on to step 2.....

We sent our information and I-800A form to the government.  For those who know what this is just skip ahead, for those who don't-- the I 800A form basically is something you fill out and send to the US for them to see who you are and your info etc and say okay, you are good to go forward to adopt internationally, which is what we are doing.  Once they say ok and we do a few things for them to verify who we are and that we are good peoples :) then we will get a form back from them saying we are able to pursue adopting.

Then when we get that form back, we will send it with our homestudy and other documents to NC (the state of residence for those that live elsewhere).   They will apostile everything and send it back.

BAM POW BAM

Then, guess what????......

It will shortly after that be going to POLAND.  Woohooooooo!!  OMG, the light, the light at the end of the tunnel, I finally seeeeeeeee it!!! There it is, I think.... I see.... the light.......maybe??...... I hope...... I know its there.......
:-D   oh yea, getting closer, baby steps, baby steps, but definitely OVER the HUMP of questions and paperwork and I feel and our adoption is getting closer and closer. 


If this post seems a bit 'off' or loopy its because I am. -- off and loopy--  :)  I am tired but kept wanting to write about our steps to adoption.  AND, I am almost done with my work for the summer, then summer vacation for teachers.  So, that has me tired and loopy as well.  So, I am doing so under tired loopyness- which isn't even a word, oh well.  Off to do a few minutes of Yoga before I go get into bed.
