Pre-Approval

WE GOT OUR PRE-APPROVAL!!! At 10:15 am Lisa, our caseworker from Adoption Associates will mail us the original document for her album. If that wasn’t enough fabulous news, we just found out that Deb and Steve Beaulieu were referred a “Maomingster” as well, so we will have travel buddies with us in Guangzhou for the entire two weeks.
We applied to the Department of Homeland Security to update our fingerprints for the third time, because they expire 4/16/09. We also are on the list to have our home study updated, changing from non-special needs to the special needs program. We are praying that won’t require another home visit as we are currently laying the flooring in Violet’s room and after that we are into drywall and painting. We took this entire week off to work on her room, we’ve finished gutting it, installed studs for her closet, insulated, finished the sub-floor and are currently laying the new flooring. I’m not remotely interested in stopping to clean; even a cursory cleaning takes us away from the ultimate goal… GETTING VIOLET’S ROOM FINISHED!!!
