Got our paperwork in the mail...

And I'm super intimidated! I have NO idea when I'll be able to get DH to sit down with me... and frankly, I am a little worried about what he's going to say when he sees all of this! Yikes!

Nonetheless, I am still excited!

    It's amazing, isn't it?!  I've only started on our applications materials (not the homestudy questionnaire, yet) and it's still overwhelming. :-/

    I know! I just gave DH one bit at a time, so he wouldn't realize how much work he was doing. Sneaky? Yes. Helpful for both of us? Totally.

    We went the other direction- we had the IL's keep DS overnight one Friday night and that next morning we got up, got donuts, made A LOT of coffee and sat down too ALL the paperwork. We knocked it out in one day and then each only had a small to-do checklist of calling doctors, scheduling fingerprints, etc. 

    I'm a huge nerd who loves paperwork, though.   :P

    After multiple m/c's, a MTHFR diagnosis and the Lord calling both of our hearts in the same direction, we're adopting!

    We were more like JWPBRIDE.  Knocked most of it out all at once, except the doctor appts, which were scheduled but my dr had a 4 month wait.  Even our biographies, we both just wrote sitting next to each other on our computers and then swapped to read each others when we were done.  Some of your SW's have seemed pretty intense.  I only spent two hours total with ours for the homestudy and my husband spent an extra hour with her when she actually "checked-out" our home.  She said that only one of us needed to be there and I was at work, while my husband was able to work from home that day.
