The Reality of Adoption

We finally got a call from the county assessor, Shannon. She seems very friendly and I think she will help make this process go as easily as possible. That being said, it won't be a cake walk by any means. We are just 6 weeks from the due date, and there is a lot to get done in a short amount of time. Right now we need the following:

• Fire safety inspection
• Medical reference from my doctor
• 5 letters of reference from friends
• Background check/fingerprinting

Once these are in place, Shannon will come and meet with Todd and me. The good news is she is aware of the nature of our relationship and is very OK with it. I was worried it could go the other way. Once she meets with us we will have a better idea of what is next.

We have finished up getting most of the big things we need to be prepared for his arrival. We need most of this when the assessor comes since we are already "selected" and she will want to be sure we have the essentials.

Britnei was at Grant yet again today. She had some pains and her mother took her to L&D. They sent her back home... again. I swear when she DOES go into labor no one is going to believe her!

Next OBGYN appointment is on March 26 (Todd's Birthday) and after that we go weekly until the baby is born. That's all for now!
