We signed "adoptive placement" papers today! Doesn't mean a heck of a lot, but it is one step closer to those final papers. We won't get funds from the county anymore, technically, but there is an adoptive assistance program that gives funds to adoptive families. This will be very helpful in creating a college fund for our young lady.
The way I understand it, we have one more set of papers to sign in a month or so, then we can set a date with the judge to have the final adoption granted. So, if you believe in the county's ability to predict the time it takes to do this, we could be adoptive parents next month. But I don't - now, I'm just hoping it will happen before her 3rd birthday in February.
...but then, I was really hoping to have it done before the holidays, too.
oh well - one step closer!

A friend once wondered why my sister has a really great blog and I didn't, since I'm the geek who works in IT. Yeah, well she's the better writer. But he made me think, so here it is. Just remember, you get what you pay for.

YAY! Although I don't see why they can't just give you an appointment, give you all the papers at once to sign, and be done with it. I guess that's why I'm not in charge.
Still...one step closer!
