Second Visit

More adoption news. We had our second adoption class on Saturday. It was good. We talked about sign language especially using it as a bridge for language barriers or post-institutionalized children who may have language delays. We have already started teaching Isaiah so that he can use it to communicate with his little brother or sister too. He loves it. Then we talked about racism and having a multicultural/multiracial family. Sadly we had to leave early and didn't get to hear much of this lecture. Two more classes to go! They do not do classes in the summer so our next one will probably be in September.

Our home visit last week went great. Our social worker is super nice and easy to talk to. We will be having our second visit tonight. More questions! Please pray some more. And our third visit will be next Monday, the 11th. We hope to have all our paper work in by that night. Then she will write up the report and we will move on to the Dossier.

We have filed our I-600A which is the Citizenship/Immigration form for our child. This usually takes between 6-10 weeks to process and is another big part of the process. Yea! Moving right along.

Everything is moving so fast right now. It is exciting. After we finish the Dossier, however, we will just be waiting for 6-7 months to get a referral for a possible child. We will need to find lots to do in that time to keep us busy so we don't go completely crazy.
