Goodbye Spring Break!

I was lucky enough to be in Iowa for Ryan's 5th birthday party!  A bounce house with a slide ... another large inflatable slide ... a piñata ...  games ... cake ... what more do 5 year olds need to have fun?  The funny thing was before the party even started several kids exclaimed, "Best Party EVER!"  The inflatables were a huge hit!

Spring Break was spent trying to get as much paperwork done as possible.  I got my pre-approval letter on March 8th.  In twelve days I've gotten a lot accomplished.  Cotton's vaccinations expire tomorrow, so he was THRILLED to go get his shots updated today.  Yup, even Cotton is involved in the journey of bringing Bryson home!  I already uploaded his medical records to MyAdoptionPortal.  

I don't have too many things left on my check list at the moment.  Tomorrow I go to my pre-psych eval appointment.  Gotta love paying a $45 co-pay to basically hand over the paperwork I already filled out and them to "determine" what testing I need to have done.  The adoption agency suggests one standardized test such as the MMPI-2.  After my pre-psych eval appointment I have to go pick up my Police Good Conduct form from the Montgomery County Deputy's office.  Then I'm off to the CISD Health and Wellness Clinic to have the doctor sign off on my medical paperwork.  My blood work came back GOOD and my TB test was negative ... just have to get the doctor to sign off on it.  Saturday I wrap up my Home Study tasks with a fingerprinting appointment.  I'm hoping that I'll get a call from my Social Worker next week to start the next phase.  I wrap up the evening with a Bible Study group at my new friend Amy's house!  Tomorrow will be busy, but good!  

My Agency representative emailed me today, "You are flying through this paperwork!"

I am one day closer to bringing Bryson home!  So excited!

Thanks for following my journey to bringing Bryson home!

Take Care,
