Making a List, Checking it Twice

We decided to adopt Kendi Mae on February 11, 2009. Two weeks ago tomorrow. I wouldn't say things are going at lightening speed, but they are going and it feels good to check things of "the list" each day! I'm using the blog to keep track of things, and also just to record progress for the sake of prosperity. And...just because it makes me feel better to see it typed out!

Here's what's been accomplished in the last 2 weeks:

*Official grant application out to foundation who is planning to give us a grant.

*Application filled out for AAI. Still need to mail it (getting stamps tonight).

*Homestudy medicals done for Anita.

*Homestudy medicals done for Eric.

*Dossier medicals done for Anita.

*Dossier medicals done for Eric.

*Extra "support" letter from Kidney Specialist done.

*Child abuse clearance requests mailed.

*2 of 3 reference letters are in.

*Anita's employment letter received.

*Homestudy visit DONE.

Next in line for completion:

*Letter of support from Eric's Kidney Team Social Worker (complete next week).

*Eric's employment letter and income verification (later this week).

*Anita's income verification (next week).

*Oklahoma Criminal Background checks (tomorrow).

*Kids homestudy medical statements (shooting for Friday).

*I-600a (shooting for Friday).

The goal is to get our packet of supporting homestudy documents out by end of next week. The Kidney SW's letter will probably be last to come in. The child abuse clearances take up to 4 weeks here in OK, so that will be the LAST thing that comes in for our homestudy. I'm praying that she will have it ready to go when that clearance comes back!
