Home Study: CHECK!

We received a copy of our home study on Wednesday, but there were some small changes that needed to be made. I just received an email from our SW that says it's been sent back for finalization! Woo hoo!

My favorite part? "Mr. and Mrs. Poppies have built their lives together for the last 8 years and were married 4 years ago. They have worked toward having their own children and are excited and prepared to adopt. They are physically, emotionally, and financially stable, and have a great support system in place. Mr. and Mrs. Poppies have met all of the pre-adoptive requirements to adopt a child in the State of ____. They are approved to adopt a male or female Caucasian infant, with no known health issues."

Yayyyyyyyyyy!

    PR not me
    My friend waited until we're in the middle of the damn mall to tell me she's pregnant. I feel so betrayed. She has been emailing with me all week. She knows what we've been through.
