Yippee Skippee

We are the proud possessors of a really truly honest-to-goodness pre-adoption home study. Boise USCIS office, here we come!!!

I drove over to pick the paperwork up from our social worker and was able to get Caleb's 6 month post-placement interview done at the same time. The 6 month post-placement is not a requirement of Ukraine but of our adoption agency (maybe our state, too?) Ukraine does require yearly self-reports on the kiddos adopted from their country until the child is 18 but these do not necessitate the help of a social worker. Caleb was a hit as usual with almost everyone else in the office.

Oh this morning I had my eye exam and the optometrist asked about anything interesting going on in my life this year. Well of course I immediately told him about our trip to Ukraine and adoption of Caleb and about the fate of kiddos with DS in his country and our hopefully-upcoming trip to adopt another little guy from Eastern Europe and let him know there were plenty of other children there if he was interested.
