Jennifer's Diary Entries

Homestudy complete

Introduction

We had our homestudy on Friday. Everything went just fine. We were told that as long as our FBI backgrough check came back fine (and it will) we will be approved to adopt. We should have all of the criteria complete by mid June. So now we basically just sit back and wait. We are not looking for a newborn and we are willing to take a sibling group of no more than two. I am hopeful that by October, we will have completed our family and we can focus on the fun stuff. Off the subject of adopting, our daughter is turning four in June. We decided to get a play system thing for the backyard. WOW. Who knew there were so many different types and prices. At first I wanted the redwood ones because I thought they would last longer. We stumbled upon one that the wood is actually encased in some type of plastic and is supposed to last ten plus years. If anyone out there is reading and they have had any experience with any type of play gym, let me know what your experiences are. I really have nothing else to update. Note to Georgina: I have followed your diary from the precon all the way to now. I am so excited for you and your husband. I hope you hear something real soon. Keeping the faith, Jenn
