Do you have Paula Abdul stuck in your head now? :) Me too!
I am happy to say that we had our last home visit last night. Our SW came over to do the follow up on our home safety inspection and to meet Fletcher. HSI went well, no biggie there. Fletch was, well, Fletch. He wanted to show the SW all of his books. Then as she and I tried to leave his room to go chat, he pushed me out the door and told her "Get in here now!" Oy vey! It was cute because he wanted her all to himself to play, but my goodness, he sounded like a two year old tyrant. And we never say "get in here now" to him - where did that come from?!?! Oh well...I'm sure we're not the worst parents she's ever seen.
So she is finishing her home study write up this week, then we're waiting on medical letters and Fletcher's doctor's appt (this Friday) and we're DONE with the home study. We should be able to review it next week and get it in the mail.
Our minor setbacks were:
- As expected, my certified birth certificate was incorrect. We now have to send it back to FL to the Secretary of State to be sealed. Lucky for us, this is for the dossier and we do not need it for the home study to be complete.
- The notary stamp date on Marc's doctor's letter was different from the date on the letter, so we have to have that redone. His doctor is practically within walking distance from our house, so that shouldn't be a big deal to get redone.
Jackie's dr. letter is in the mail to us. Fletcher's dr. appt. is on Friday. My dr. forms are in the mail to us. We're cruisin'!
Costs: $20 for state seal

you are cruisin' girl!!! so so fun!! congrats!!!
p.s. i thought for our ethiopia dossier we only needed photo copies of our birth certificates? am i wrong?
Yeah for a completed homestudy!!! Fletcher sounds so cute, I wonder what our kids will pull out when she comes to our house, yikes! How long it did it take to get your CBI background check? She is estimating 3 to 4 months for ours and I am hoping she is over estimating just in case.
Congrats!
Ang~ We have to have state sealed birth certs, but from talking to many other people it sounds like every agency is different...? I would double check just in case.
Hi Lori! Our CBI only took 2 months and boy were we thrilled. I decided that C. gives us a longer timeframe on things so that we'll be ecstatic when everything happens sooner than predicted. (haha) :)
