Any News?

I've seen lots of people lately that have asked me if we've gotten any news. So I decided I would write an update on the blog for everyone. Well, unfortunately we really don't have much new information and are still on the waiting list. There must be many parents ahead of us registered in Vlad awaiting a girl. We have, however, changed our age range from 2 - 4 years to 18 months - 5 years old. I guess that's the biggest change. Waiting for the call is difficult at times. I'm learning the art of patience along with other emotions that may creep up. Like doubt...I doubt this will ever happen, I might doubt if we're on the correct path. Fear...I fear what will be if this doesn't happen and also fear what will be when this does happen. :-) Most days, though, are filled with positive thoughts and energy.
In the mist of the roller coaster of emotions, we are continuing to gather and work on the next set of documents that will be required to bring our little one home. We are trying to find the AZ State International Adoption Laws, which are a requirement. We thought we had it, but our agency says it didn't look quite right. So, they are now trying to help us in the search. The agency also sent us another form we need to fill out. Then there's the letter our tax accountant has to write on our behalf stating we own our home and the details of it. Then there's the employment verification letter from the CPA of Roger's company which also needs to be written, and we're also contacting our mortgage company to write a letter, as well, about our house and our ownership. Then finally for now, there's the financial statement Roger and I need to write up ourselves. After we gather all those docs, along with our psych evaluation, we'll get them notarized and go to the Secretary of State to have them apostilled and sent to our agency. Please keep positive thoughts for us that we will receive a referral soon. Thanks to everyone for your care and concern for us thus far. It means a lot to us.
