I got the call on March 14 that China has approved me to be Jing Jing's mom. I've still got a way to go before my dossier is ready to go to China but this is a relief. She will be mine!
The homestudy visits are all done and I'm writing out answers to a huge packet of questions from the agency. As my social worker says, they are very "thorough". And some thought provoking questions, definitely. Time is flying though, and I need to get the dossier finished. I have had one definite relief in the closing of our Amherst house, and it feels better to be doing the adoption with the proceeds in the bank. Had never planned to maintain two residences, even though I did love the Pioneer Valley.
Today is the last day of March and we have had springlike weather. What a relief, and what a good time for fresh beginnings.
