We're officially paper pregnant!! We mailed in our application on April 17, 2006 and have begun our homestudy. I am already nervous. I'm just waiting for something to go wrong. That's what 7 years of infertility will do to a girl. Brian is as calm as can be. We ordered our birth certificates and marriage license from the Rhode Island Health department and received them in 1 week. We we're told it would be 4-6 weeks so that was a pleasant surprise. We are still waiting for our passports though. Today we each had 3 sets of fingerprints taken for our FBI and State criminal background checks and child abuse clearance. On Tuesday we have our first homestudy appointment with Creative Adoptions. They want to explain the entire homestudy process and give us the rest of our paperwork including information for our reference letters. So Jen, Angel and Michelle you guys better start writing!! :) We also ordered our driving records (Thank God Brian has a badge that gets him out of traffic stops because he'd have a lot of explaining to do). I also completed the application for the Health Department. We have gotten a lot done in the last week so the ball is definitely rolling!! We are so excited...It finally seems real :)
