Well we are ALMOST paper pregnant. For those of you outside the adoption world paper pregnancy basically means that we are completed with all of our paperwork and are officially waiting.
Tonight we went to dinner with our friends, the Sixkillers, at Bandannas BBQ in Springfield. Not a bad place. Hadn't ate there in almost a year and was pleasantly surprised by how good it was. Not very crowded but food was excellent. Melissa Sixkiller is our "traveling notary." If you've been through the adoption process you know there is a ton of paperwork most of which has to be notarized. We would definitely have a lot more work to do if she wasn't as flexible and available to notarize whenever and wherever.
This afternoon I got our bank letter. Some of you who know me may recall that I have a tendancy to get all worked up and worried about stuff, and then it never even happens. (Some of you will remember that I was positive we had termites in our old house before the buyer had the inspection.) Well I had read online that people were having a terrible time getting a letter from their bank stating they are a customer in good standing. Bank of America is known to be the worst. We bank at US Bank so I had no idea what to expect. My co workers today will tell you I was fired up before I headed to the bank. I had already planned it in my mind that when they didn't give me the letter that I was going to demand to talk to the president of the bank and demand they give me every cent we have in our accounts and I was going to do WHATEVER it took to get the letter. I walked in around 1:30 and walked out about 1:45 with a letter exactly as I needed. I had prayed before I walked in not to let this be the hold up because we have everything else done or lined up to be completed this week and I had read where this delayed people greatly. God is good and he took care of it.
Where does that leave us? Well besides waiting on the home study which we are supposed to get Friday we have everything done with the exception of 3 items which we have but have minor typos or the wrong address on. We will get those taken care of Wednesday and Thursday and should be good to go to fed ex out on Friday.
Then the wait.

Things are moving right along with the process. Yea!
I hope you don't mind me using your blog to post a challenge to fellow bloggers...
Re Malaria Eradication...Malaria is a leading cause of death for children under five in Africa (Malaria is spread thru the bite of a mosquito). You can help...in honor of World Malaria Day on Aril 25, please log on to www.WorldVision.org and see how you can help fight this deadly disease by donating money for bed nets.
I recenly made a donation and challenge others to do so too!
I am so thrilled you both have made this choice! Thanks for sharing the process details. Didn't realize our new friend could be with us so soon. I can't wait to meet our new friend! Your family is so special to us! We will be praying for your child and their birth mother.
Much Love and Prayers,
