Everything expires!

Since we have been in this process so long, nearly all our paperwork expired on March 2nd!  That means we had to get physicals done, schedule a home visit, get updated reference letters, employment verification letters, financial statements, ect...  Since we did not have a current home study we had to request an extension that I overnighted on February 28th.  We now have 45 days to get everything else in order, including an updated home study.  Doing all this has brought the adoption to the forefront of my mind.  I'm thinking about boy names again, thinking about chasing around a toddler, thinking about that day when we finally bring him home!  Someday...one day...it will be true, but for now we remain another month at #7.
