Today we have our final meeting with our social worker (whom we love) before our home study is sent to court to be approved and finalized. She has let us know it can take up to 4 weeks to get this back. We are hoping for a lot less. Over the last weeks we have been very busy getting all of the paperwork filled out and sent off for authentication to the places they need to go. Only to get most of them sent back for corrections or another reason. But, it has mostly been handled. So, we really don't have much paperwork left. The Chinese Consult in New York is DONE. The Chinese Consult in LA is sorta done and I haven't even started on the Chinese Consulate in Houston but I will get there. So, after we get back our home study from the court I then send off our I-800. We are hoping that doesn't take as long to come back as we have heard. So, this is where we stand as of now. I was told last night that even though we are only doing paperwork, we should still update our blog. So, Susan...this blog is for you...

Happy Birthday to our big girl Aubrey Xiao Jiao. Who today turns 2.
