The Heat is On!

Well, here it is August and things are now at a sweltering simmer, and that's just the temperature! We now have the all the pieces to the puzzle to get the home study completed and most of our paperwork seems to be in order for our dossier Aside from the Home study and the letters from our social worker the only piece of paper we are missing for our dossier is the Approve USCIS application. We've been checked and double checked by seemingly ALL police type agencies and fortunately we came out clean! We were REALLY worried (nah!). As we finish the dossier paperwork we will really go into a holding pattern and just be waiting for a referral and an invitation to go to Kazakhstan. In the meantime, Jeff and I have set about on an aggressive can collecting campaign (Look out cans, here we come!) Between that, collecting and recycling printer cartridges and old cell phones, and a couple other fundraising ventures we hope to fund our adoption. The good news is with ALL the recycling we are doing, Baby G will be the most eco-friendly baby in the family! Not much else to say, if anyone wants to give their pop cans, cell phones or printer cartridges to a good cause we will gladly take those off your hands! Until next time!
