finally! (part 1)

Yes, part 1 because there will be more to come. After postponing three times, the first part is completed - yeah! We've completed all of our US paperwork and our social worker made her visit to our home. (pop quiz: Do you know how many working smoke detectors your house needs? answer: one on each floor!)Yes, we have that. So now our social worker writes up the report (called a homestudy) and forwards a rough copy to a whole bunch of people to make sure it will pass inspection so to speak. Then we (actually, our papers) go to Ghana. Our other adoption lady, Anita at AAI http://www.adoptionadvocates.org/ travels next month and may return with a referral. We're getting closer bit by bit. (or a cra cra cra cra- little by little in Ghanian- speak). To celebrate, we ate ground nut soup. Only Hubby made it a bit too spicy but he says he's just making me tough for spicy Ghanian food. With any luck, we'll travel sometime later this year to get the Kiddo! Finally. (part 1)
