Update

We had the phone interview on Monday, just like the case worker promised. She is the first person at CPS to actually help us and follow through on her word. He is a very lucky little boy to have her assigned to him.

So anyway, she took mine and David's socials and Brittany's too (everyone 14 and older) to run background checks on us. She submitted them on Tuesday, and we heard back from her on Friday...everything is a go now for our home study. All of the paperwork has been submitted. We are just waiting for the home study people to call and schedule an appointment.

Unfortunately, this could take up to two weeks...another flaw in the system. Then, after the home study is complete, it could be up to another two weeks for them to process the paperwork.

But GOOD news, he will be brought to us immediately upon successful processing of the paperwork - i.e., our house and family pass all of their requirements for adoption. We are so excited about our new addition. I just hope they like our family and home.
