OUR HOME STUDY WAS APPROVED!!
Yay! We just found out yesterday that our home study has been approved by the international agency (Children's Home Society and Family Services). This means that we can now do our final paperwork for the dossier, and once that is turned in, we will be on the official waiting list for a child!
We had our fingerprinting appt. in Milwaukee yesterday at the dept. of homeland security office. Yes, it was during the big snowstorm. It took us 2 1/2 hours to get there! Once there, we parked down the block and arrived at their front door. Even though our appt. was scheduled for Noon, and we were there at 11:58 am, we were told they were closing because of the weather, but would let us be the last people they were going to let in. Thank God!! They were not shy about letting us know they did not want to be there and just wanted to get home to escape the bad roads. Eric's fingerprinting went fine, but mine may have to be re-done since my prints are not very good (they said it's from all the handwashing I have to do at the hospital). We'll just have to wait and see.
Today we went to our first required adoption class. We chose the all-day version, so after today we only have to attend one more all-day session two weeks from now. This is a state of Wisconsin requirement.
Our goal is to finish the dossier by mid-April, and that would mean that we could expect a referral for an infant 7-9 months from then.
