We are ready! {even though we are not ready!}

We are ready to bring our daughter home... but our house is no where near ready!  :) 

We talked with our Country Specialist about the timing of when we could expect to bring Baby girl home and we were told that it is normally 10-14 weeks from when you hand in your paper work.  But that the last people who traveled to that same  agency in Korea traveled after 6 (yes SIX) weeks.  So where does that put us, you ask?

6 Weeks: Nov 19th {Thanksgiving is Nov. 25th}
10 Weeks: Dec 17th {Christmas is Dec 25th}
14 Weeks: Jan 14th

So basically the holidays and a very busy time! 

When I first heard this news I basically freaked out.  We had already had one week go by and we had not done much to get ready and now we only had 5 weeks left!  We were SOOOO not ready! 

 So, it took another week for my head to get in the right place and now I hope she comes home soon!  Ready or not we want our baby girl home!  :)  I mean she could be home for Christmas... It is not a for sure but wouldn't that be AWESOME! 

Baby Girl's Dossier

Dossier-French for "a bundle of papers"

We got all of the paperwork (called the Dossier) together to accept baby girl's referral and handed it in to our agency yesterday (Friday)!  The agency checked it over to make sure everything was there (they said it looked perfect!) and then sent it on to Korea! 

Now we have to wait for Baby Girl to get cleared from Korea to come to the USA and also Jason and I have to be cleared from the USA to bring Baby Girl home.  This will probably take 3-4 months... although I am not that sure about the timing!  I am going to e-mail our country specialist and ask more questions about timing and traveling next week.
