For those of you who aren't familiar with the process, when you adopt there is a supervision period before you go to court to finalize an adoption. Our agency requires more than the standard 6 month period of supervision when you adopt a sibling group. So we were required to wait a year before we were eligible. We received word last week that we were cleared to proceed with finalizing their adoption and couldn't be more excited!! While we knew in our hearts Skylar and Elaina were to be forever our children, it still doesn't quite feel like you are there parents when you are in this part of the process. We had to do monthly reports, have visits by a social worker, and other things that just don't make you feel like you are truly a parent. We can't wait to go to court and hear the judge tell us they are forever part of our family!
While in Texas we will spend two days in San Antonio where three other families (two from our orientation group) will also be finalizing. We are then traveling to Houston where we will spend two nights with my best friend from college Maggie and her family. She has boy/girl twins that are almost 4 so it will be fun to see what is to come. Jon will also get to visit with his friend Andrew who is there receiving his first round of chemo (see blog posting below). We are excited about the trip but feeling a little nervous about traveling with two very active babies!!
