Preapproval and Homestudy

As of June 13, 2011 we have preapproval from China to adopt Fu Hao Ling.  Last time it took us months to receive this approval for Grace due to lost paperwork.  It is hard to believe we have it so soon.

Next step is to get our homestudy completed. Our first visit with the social worker is Tuesday at 5:30.  We chose Frank Adoption Center since they did our homestudy last time.  We will have a different social worker, the director of the agency.  Hopefully we can get the homestudy completed quickly.  Unfortunately much of it is out of our hands.  The homestudy includes background checks and reference letters. We have no control over how quickly they will arrive.

We went ahead and told the girls tonight. They were so excited. Grace wanted to know why we can't name her Sally.  That is her favorite name and she names all her dolls that.
