Waiting to be "paper ready"

Ok, so I'm new at this blogging thing, but it seems to be a great way to keep a lot of people informed about our adoption story.
As most of you know, we are planning to adopt a little guy from South Korea. Right now we are waiting for the state government to OK our paper work so that it can be sent on to the federal government. Once that is done (as long as our criminal history that we've both managed to block out doesn't come up), we will be considered "Paper ready" by the agency. We're thinking that it might be June before that happens. At that point we will be waiting for a referral that can take up to six months. Once we get the picture (referral) of our little guy, it will be 3-6 months before we get the OK to go get him! I'm expecting that waiting period will be the hardest. Perhaps blogging will be a good distraction at that point.
We've started getting ready for him, by working on Cydney's big girl room. The little guy will have the nursery, so we need to get her moved into her new room soon, so that she doesn't feel displaced.
Thank you for checking the blog. I hope to update it every couple of weeks (OK, at least once a month).

In case any government officials are looking at this. The thing about blocking our criminal history was a joke. :)

I think this is a great idea...blogging your journey! it will be a great way to keep up with the ups and downs that come to you on a regular basis--but are too hard to share one on one with the many people who love you! I mean, how many times can you tell the same story! :-)

I'll be checking in regularly...so don't forget to write!

Love you!
