Updates

Well today is Kaleigh's birthday and we received notice in the mail today that Immigration has received our money/ application and we are now just waiting on our fingerprint appointment. So for her birthday Kaleigh got a step closer to her sister.

Homestudy done!

Well, it seemed to take forever but in reality only took about 2 months. The home study is done and we are just waiting on our immigration appointment!!! We have been stressing about getting everything done on time but it seems that at this point we are so close to having everything that the agency can ask for an extension so that is making me breathe a little easier. We can't wait to bring Courtney home and start showing her how much we love her and getting her the medical/ dental attention she will need for her lip and palette. Having two so close in age is going to be an adventure and one that I am so looking forward to. Kaleigh has such an amazing personality and by looking at her pictures it looks like Courtney does too. It should make for interesting times!

Belated Christmas Present!

Today I got updated pictures of Courtney from the agency along with updated measurements. It looks like she is not only walking but running already. She is still a little smaller than Kaleigh but I think she is close to the same size as she was two months ago other than being slightly shorter. Anyway this soon to be mama of two is so happy to be looking at more pictures of her little one tonight. Please continue to keep us in your prayers that all of our paperwork is gathered and submitted in time so that we don't lose our Courtney Grace!

Updated Pictures of our little one!

Today the service that I used to send a care package sent me some updated pictures of Courtney. They did an amazing job on her lip repair. She looks so wonderful. I will say that seeing the pictures of her and how much she has grown has made me realize that these next serveral months are going to be much longer than I thought. Anyway enjoy!

Paperwork Paperwork Paperwork

I don't know that I actually forgot how much paperwork goes into an adoption but with a deadline this time it is much more stressful. Plus so many requirements have changed due to Hague. Keep the prayers coming everyone because we are head over heels in love with this one too. Well obviously you already know how much we love our little bit otherwise known as Kaleigh! Anyway thanks for all of your support and love!

Here are pictures

I know several of you have been waiting on pictures of Courtney so here are the only two that we have at this time. The one appears to be when she was just a few weeks old and the other appears to be when she was about 6 to 9 months old. I don't have any pictures yet of her after the lip repair but they have been requested so as soon as I have those I will post them as well.

Paperwork, paperwork

Wow and I thought I would never forget how much paperwork went with an adoption. We received all the paperwork from the agency yesterday evening but I just got started today. Kaleigh had a FCC Christmas Party last night. One other difference this time is that we are doing the adoption with a different agency and since they are not local we have to use another agency to do the homestudy. This time we will be getting things completed much quicker!!! We can't wait to bring our little angel home to be with us and her sister.
