Officially Pregnant (in the land of adoption)

We got our I-797 form today in the mail. Apparently, Rusty does not fully understand the magnitude of this form, as I had to call him to find out, but regardless, it is here and we have been approved to adopt a child by the US Government! YEAH YEAH YEAH!!!! On Friday, I am going to chase down the remaining items of our dossier (adoption paperwork) and our dossier will be done by Halloween, October the 31st and ready for translation! What timing...

In other news, we have a family that is scheduled to leave on Thursday for her little Kaz cutie and she is going to go and see our little man, Murat. With her she will be carrying a 'Yertle the Turtle' that I have asked her to give to Matt for him to hold on to until it can be replaced by his mama, papa and sister, Ellison! So we should have another update on our little guy by Thanksgiving!! Keep your fingers crossed...
