Medical Reports cleared!

Our social worker confirmed with us today that the director has approved the medical portion of the homestudy! This is big because now it means all that is left is minor tweaks before we can send it off to our placement agency. Once the draft has been approved by them, it can be finalized and notarized! First hurdle handled!

For the moment the ball is out of our court.

We had what is hopefully our last meeting with our pediatrician today to finalize the medical reports on our (current) kids. The form was handed off to our social worker, and that is the last of the paperwork. If the agency director approves, the Homestudy should be complete by Tuesday or Wednesday of next week!

I say the last of the paperwork... but that is just for the Homestudy. Now I can focus more on the dossier paperwork. Similar stuff, but more complicated as almost every form needs to be notarized. Right now I'm working on the application letter that basically introduces our family to the Ethiopian adoption officials.
