the adoption process

we had our first meeting with cheri from hope for adoption last saturday (dec 11). we drove up to atlanta and met her. i think the meeting went very well. she seemed pleased with jolynn's o/c organizing skills and how well we had everything prepared. still waiting on a form from our local dfacs. seems to have gotten lost in the bureaucratic shuffle, but she faxed the form back to them, so hopefully they'll get it turned in soon. she's going to help us put together our profile so we can start getting presented to prospective mothers (assuming we pass our home study). our next visit with cheri will be january 3rd, and she'll be coming to our house for this one. gotta make sure we have a safe environment and all that. anyway, wheels are in motion and all, so hopefully we'll be adding to the family pretty soon. keep us in your prayers.
