After our application was accepted by St. Mary's International Adoption Agency, we were excited to get the process started. There has not been much down time to sit around and wait. We have been running around gathering documentation and CLEANING! We now have a kid friendly home. It was exciting to put up child locks and a gate on the stairs. By the time we get our Princess Vespa, we will be a professional at opening cupboards and removing plug protectors! It has actually become quite fun to deep clean every nook and cranny of our house because I know the purpose is to provide the best home possible for our little Vespa. We have our Home-study in a week. It is the first deadline to have our house spotless and presentable.
We have also started our adoption education courses. The information and statistics can be a little startling, but I know that through our continued reading we will be prepared to care for our Vespa in all scenarios. I find it extremely interesting to learn so much about the possible conditions and how greatly they can be improved with understanding and loving parents.
Scott and I are overjoyed at coming closer to meeting our child. We are hopeful that the adoption will take place by next Spring.
