It is exciting to say that we are nearing the end of our paperwork! I can hardly believe it, but we just checked, so it must be true!
Our agency is a Type-A person's dream. They have an online portal where we interact with our case worker when we have questions. There is a section where they have broken down our required documents, trainings, and other activities into several checklists as we upload documents or mail them to CAS we can check the item off the list and each checklist gets submitted to the case worker as it reaches completion. She reviews the documents that we've uploaded and marks the list as 'accepted' if she has all the information needed. Its a great help for organization, timing, and for reviewing when I feel like I haven't done anything towards the adoption in a while.
We received confirmation that our references have gotten their letters and are working on those for us. It kind of makes it a little more real to know that some work is being done by others toward the end of Baby Henderson!
Additionally, I had some wonderfully encouraging conversations with several friends this week. It was incredible to feel loved by each of them in such special ways.
I have decided that we will do a Spring yard-sale to help raise funds, so if you live nearby and have items that you'd like to donate start thinking about it and making a pile because spring will be here before we know it.
Lastly, one of our sweet talented friends has been busy working on some home décor items that she will be selling for our adoption at an undisclosed location on a Saturday in November from 9am - 3pm. Please stop by Ozilia's Originals (this is a working business name) and check out her handy work! This is all done free hand which blows my mind, see the example below:
