Norman Adoption Blog

Unfortunately there isn’t much to report about the adoption right now. Today Patrick and I had our scheduled appointments with FBI here in town to get our fingerprints made. CIS scheduled those appointments for us two weeks ago or so. Betti told me she sent our homestudy in to CIS to get processed last week. Hopefully in the next day or two she will get out another copy to our agency that will be used in the dossier.  Once our agency gets a copy they will review it and then send us the last couple of forms to fill out.

I feel things are at a stand still for us.  It is very easy to get caught up in daily routine and to even forget about the adoption all together. I suppose that would be better than tormenting myself as to when we will finally get to see her. I am always praying and thinking of her and her birth mother but I just feel at peace with our situation right now. It is just like when I was pregnant with David. I couldn’t wait to see him. There were daily reminders he was about to come. But at the same time, I was very aware that this was Patrick and my last chance to be together alone as a couple. We knew things would forever change. There is a big change approaching very quickly. So while I can, I want to cherish my time alone with David and Patrick the best that I can.
