Although we won't have the license until around the end of the month, we are finished with our part!  

 

Now for the hard part - waiting. 

mom2one

please add me to foster to adopt - waiting to finalize!

thanks!

Joe'sSweetPea

Hi Hannah!  Please move us to Waiting!!!  We are pursuing Independent Adoption here in California so our process is a little different than other posters.

I hope you had a great holiday with your new snuggle-buddy! 

mcmann05

I don't know if it's worth updating for but figured I put that we are done with our homestudy and waiting for the "word" to be licensed foster parents. :-)

koda927

You can move us back to matched. Baby boy due 1/29/11

 Thanks again for doing this.

texasnails22

Could you add me to the homestudy in progress. Please...

TefLepOM

Thank you for doing this. We are still the same.

JanieJones

*sigh* No change for us, still working through our homestudy.  Hopefully in March it will be complete.  (That's a full year of paperwork!)

hidges

you can move me from Placed to Finalized! We finalized on Dec 15th. Woo hoo!

rach2100

Hi Hannah...thanks for doing this.  You can move us to waiting.  We've finished our home study and are now 'officially' in wait mode - although we were not excluded from being shown to potential BMs while finishing up our home study.

Thanks again!

joeandkristie

We only have the nine month old boy, J.  Hope to know on Feb 3rd if he is our forever baby.

LadyRed7

Can you add me to the list for waiting?

Thank you! 

lilmufish

I'm under the foster to adopt section, can you take my placement off the list. We are currently childless...and quiet.

purplerhi

You can move us to homestudy in process.  Thank you!

jehnm

I think I must have missed getting my name on the list.  Can you add us to waiting on the domestic adoption part?

Thanks!

Edited to add that I saw my name as soon as I glanced over it again, it just needs to be moved to waiting since our home study is now COMPLETE!! :-)

jaartlvr

will you add me to "gathering info"? so glad to have found this forum!

mclaugh

Thanks for doing this!  Can you add me to the Domestic list?  We are signed up to do our orientation February 25th!

Thanks!! 

katieranck2202

December was a busy month for us.

We got a foster placement on Nov 30 and our lives have been turned upside since then. He is a 20mo little boy waiting for TPR so he has filled our lives with lots of new things.
