The Home Study is finally done!

After countless hours of coordinating and assembling paperwork we are finally just about ready to send off our dossier to Better Futures so that we can begin the exciting wait for a referral.
Our social worker was lovely and we spent many hours reflecting and discussing such a wide range of unexpected topics about adopting a child from Ethiopia, that I think we know ourselves and each other better than we could have ever imagined.
The report is written and approved. Once it gets here, we'll pack it all up for Minnesota and wait for a green light to wait...
It's starting to get real now. Wow!
