step forward

Have you ever experienced silent joy?  You know the kind of excitement- that makes you scream inside your chest?  I know that may sound crazy to some of you... but I experienced it today.  CT and I always go to NLH on Fridays, as I've said before.  Well, today we decided to leave a bit early and go by our agency that is doing our home study.  We have been a bit frustrated b/c we have had so many unanswered and half answered questions.  So I sent our social worker an "sms" (aka text msg) saying that we would be there before 12.  Well, he wasn't there which ended up being a blessing.  We got to talk to Susan who is the head honcho.  She answered ALL of our questions and concerns.  This was the kicker.  I have been so stressed about getting the home study done before we leave at the end of April to come back to the states.  We already bought out tickets earlier thinking surely we would get our home study done before then.  See, it was going to be pointless (only for the adoption) for us to come home without the homestudy.  We couldn't apply for grants without it, nor work on or complete our dossier without it.  She told us that it is totally possible to get it done by then!!  AND we thought we were going to have to drag our poor doctor that will do our physicals, all the way to the embassy to have our physicals notarized.  Apparently we don't have to have any of our KENAYAN documents notarized. YAY!  Okay- so all this to say- we're on schedule... i mean... for the most part.  

And can I just say that I hate leaving this one little boy on Fridays?  I'm REALLY trying not to get too attached.  But for goodness sakes- he walks right up to CT and I grabbing at our legs and reaching up his little arms.  He's not like us at all; very stoic.
