All our clearances are finally in!  The home study is complete!!

  Next step:  home study will be sent for state approval.  Jim and I will also be doing 12 hours of adoption training at our agency over the next two Saturdays.  I'm excited to learn more and to meet some other waiting parents!

On another note, a rep from our agency is going to China next week, and we are allowed to send along a gift for our sweet girl!  So today I'm printing out a few pictures of our family for a little photo album.  Since we are still far from travel and meeting Caylie, the agency rep assured me that the orphanage director will keep it for her until it's closer to the time.  (If she saw it now and got familiar with our faces, I'm afraid she would think we were never coming, as it will still be several months yet.)  We're also going to send a little lovey animal for her, and maybe some treats for her group.  Yay!  I'm excited.  :)

Just a reminder:  our fundraisers are still going!  See links at top right.  Thank you!
