Phew....that was Close

Adoption....at least that of the international kind, seems to be and endless trek into the world of papers. Forms for applying, forms for confirming, forms for insuring that we are not criminals....medically unfit....or international spies :-) There are forms going out and forms coming in. There are even seemingly illusive forms that even the experts have difficulties tracking down, recognizing or forwarding.

A few weeks ago the final pre-adoption form was received......ladies and gentlemen after four months of waiting it has been confirmed....I am a Canadian citizen. Phew! That was a close one :-) While that last comment may be a bit tongue and cheek....the arrival of this form brings celebration. We are officially waiting....and only for a referral at this point. In the last few months we have been asked many times where we are at with our adoption. After the arrival of this form.....we are officially waiting. Waiting for that little face to grace the pages of an email.
