Ghana and the Waiting children

Well, I saw the waiting child video the other day and there were some kids from AAI's new program in Ghana. They are so beautiful and sweet. There were four girls and I wanted to adopt all four of them. They have to stay together! We passed our test that we took for our training video and now I'm just waiting for AAI to send out the packet for our dossier. I talked to Gay a week ago and I am SO anxious but am going to wait to email her after it's been 2 weeks.. I was reading someone elses blog about how they go back and forth about the age they want to adopt and I am doing the same thing!! I know we want a little girl around Holly's age and then I was set on a baby brother, but after watching the video... I want to be open to a girl maybe... I don't know! cause I do want a boy somewhere in the mix and our next adoption will be from China and we'll probably adopt a baby girl then... SO, I'm leavin it to GOD! Someone please help me figure out this picture thing!!

Homestudy Completed!

Well, we're making progress in the journey. Have almost finished taking the tests that were required with the training video we received. had trouble getting online and logging in... like now I can't seem to upload pics... which is really hard for me as I am a photographer and have alot of great ones to share... but I will figure this out!!

Anyway... most of our agency is away for the holiday so we're just waiting for our homestudy approval. Went and had our fingerprints done at immigration on my birthday, the big 40!! and now we will wait until probably the end of August to get our 171, but that's okay as the courts are closed until October, and we'll need time to gather the paperwork for AAI and our dossier. Shawn has to apply for his passport next week!! cause hopefully we're going to Mexico at the end of September to celebrate my friends 40th birthdays.. really looking forward to that trip!

I cannot wait until I can post pics of our children!!!
