Christmas is around the corner! It seems like time starts flying this time of year and with our additional efforts toward adoption it has been flying even faster!

The quick update is that we have filled out our contract and several other legal forms for Children's Hope International and sent our first pound of flesh to secure their services. Also we have selected our home study agency from Normal, Illinois called The Baby Fold. We will have our first visit/interview at our home on December 21st. Then we will start our class on international adoption in Normal on January 22. Between now and then we will start our 10 hour training course through CHI online.

I'm sure there will be many more forms and documents to sign and notarize between now and then and some fingerprinting and blood tests, but for now this is what we know! We'll give an update in the new year! Have a great Christmas holiday with friends and family and count all your blessings.
