Update

This week, I did the last of my medical tests (TB, HIV, drug screening) and wrote a baby care plan with Stan for the organization of the nursery (no, really). We met with a counselor so that he could make a recommendation about Stan's ability to be the primary caregiver (no, really) since that's how it will work if we adopt soon. I'll get the TB test checked on Wednesday and then send in the care plan. Once my doctor faxes in my test results and the counselor mails the recommendation letter, our social worker will drop those things into our home study document, which she has already written. She sends it to us, we look over it and give any clarification needed, and she then sends it to the state director. We are officially approved and then become a "waiting family."

We have been told to expect to go through this process again in 18 months.
