UPDATES...

Travis and I (Elizabeth) had our first appointment today with our adoption caseworker. Prior to today, it seemed that things were going very quickly. Then, we found out today that the Home Study will take 3-months, then it's about a year before we get to adopt. In order to adopt, our caseworker will act as our "lawyer", in a sense. You see, there is a committee formed for each child needing to be adopted. Any families wanting to adopt a specific child, has their caseworker represent them in front of the committee. The caseworker tells the committee why your family is the "right fit" for the child, and vice versa. So, our caseworker has to visit with us at our home to see what we are like...to see how CRAZY we are. ;o) It's interesting to learn about.
