Where are we in the process

Just an update of where we are in our adoption process.
As of now we have completed the home study. The social worker raved at our well written autobiographys and loved our family. Sam was very charming and quickly befriended her. We have most of our paperwork to Brightside (our international agency) for review, we are just waiting for the go ahead from their social worker. Hopefully in the next few weeks we can finalize our paperwork, finish the online classes, get our passports, raise some more money and get the dossier finished. Just a few tasks, nothing much. Once the dossier is finished it can go to China, with a large check. Then we wait for about 10 months for our referal. Yes, I said 10 months. Once we get the referal, you will all hear a lot of shouting and celebrating coming from Milwaukee, then we travel right away. The 10 months is ok, we will need the time to raise the money for the INS and for travel. We will keep posting updates on this page of where we are in the process.
