Initial interview

So I'm not really in the blogging mood today.  I haven't really been in the blogging mood all weekend just too busy with just returning from Disney I guess.  However before too much time gets away from me I guess I need to document that we have completed another step - the intake-interview.  What does that mean....who knows.  I think it is like the baby step into the homestudy.  We look ok on paper to fit into the Korean program so they want to get a look at you and ask some basic questions to see if the process should continue.   I think we can not rest assured that this is definately going to happen until homestudy is said and done and our dossier is in Korea.

The interview went well I think.  J and I were both so tired.  We returned from Disney the night before around 12:00 a.m. and then had to be at the agency by 10:30.  It took us almost 2 hours and 40  minutes to get there.  The interview was almost 2 hours as well so by the time we got home it was late afternoon.  We still needed to do Disney laundry and get a half way decent birthday dinner together for JonJon so no rest for the weary LOL.  J went to the store and got steaks and an icecream cake and I make some mashed potatoes and started laundry and the huge task of the Disney picture download. 

We were sent home with the home study paperwork that I am trying to process as quickly as possible.  The good thing is a lot of the stuff co-insides with my daycare paper work and they are all due at the same time so that will be a real cost savings.  Like we need physicals for the adoption and daycare so only need to go once and can get both sets of paperwork filled out.  That is such a blessing but very hard to organize and make sure I am not missing one little form on our trips to the doctor or inspections to the house. 

Tomorrow I have the water inspection planned and I am praying out well test comes back good.  We have had problems with that in the past. 

So anyway not much time here for a post as I really need to get working on an autobiography....sounds fun huh.  I am totally not interesting enough to write 5-8 pages on :)

Nice little read

Sniff sniff sniff!  This article is such a good read if you have 5 minutes.  It shows such a broad spectrum of emotions from adoptive mother, birth mother, and adoptee.
