We're driving to Irwinton today after work to have our criminal background checks! One more item to check off on our long list.
We received emails from our adoption agency and our coordinator yesterday telling us they'd received our application. For some reason is seems more real to us. And it also means that we now have someone keeping track of what we're doing and making sure we are doing things in a timely manner. That's reassuring, yet at the same time makes me feel a little more under pressure.

The criminal background check was a piece of cake! Boy, are there advantages to living in a small town. The notary even told us if there were problems she'd do it again for no charge! All done, now on to the next item!
