Well tomorrow starts our home study! I am very excited!! I am trying to figure out (asking advice!!) do I balance this, the I-600 and the dossier now? I know I will ask the agency but curious of how others did it!
On a fun note, I woke up at 2:30 this morning not sure why, but then I laid their daydreaming about picking up my little ones!! Will they be boys, girls, one of each??? How old...all the good stuff! I then realized that I have to make sure that someone is at the airport to take pictures....yes I know I am WAY ahead of myself, but I enjoy the thoughts!!
Little Ones Await is about the journey of our adoption and will continue as the journey of our new family!

Baking...Dossier...
So last night I went to bed, ready to fall right asleep and then it hit me...I don't bake...I cook meals and I can open a mix and make a cake and properly cook ready to bake cookies, but I don't bake from scratch. I began to panic, what will I bake for my kids, I want to be the kind of mom that makes homemade goodies, my grandmother always had cake, my mom had cookies and monkey bread, my mother-in-law to this day makes peanut butter candy and yummy ice cream cake...so I lay there thinking, what will I learn...I have time and so all these different ideas ran through my head and then I panicked again! Called my mom tonight she laughed and so no worries! She told me that when women get pregnant they get the "mom" hormones, and that mine might be starting and that when I see my babies the hormones will go into over drive and the baking will come naturally!!! We laughed, definitely made me feel better!!
So we have officially heard from our social worker! She cannot meet us until end of October...ugh...but at least we have one and are continuing to move forward! I continue to remind myself this is on Gods time not mine! Our kids don't need us yet! Going to start of the dossier as well- I am completely intimidated by it! But need to get ahead of it.

I Love You Through and Through
Well I did it! bought my first kids item! I bought a book! Kind of a celebration that our paperwork is complete and our Social Worker should be assigned this week.
As I was thumbing through books and landed on the book- I love you through and through. It is just the cutest little book. I cannot wait to read it to my little ones! It is a simple book so I am going to translate it in Amharic. There are a few Ethiopians I work with and see if they can help me!
A step closer!
