Black Friday, White Saturday

Finally, the first actual snowfall of the year. Of course the mountains have been getting snow already, but up there and down here are completely different.

More waiting!

Just a quick update on our adoption.

We have completed our homestudy, immigration paperwork and most of our dossier. We still have to receive our immigration approval before our dossier can be sent to the Japanese embassy. We are keeping our fingers crossed that our approval will come soon.

Yesterday we met with our Japan adoption coordinator in California. We were anticipating a long wait before our referral, but we were told that we need to be ready to travel soon after we receive the phone call, which could as soon as a couple months. We were really excited when we heard the news. We are now getting ready for our trip out to Japan and also starting our nursery for the new baby.

Our trip out to California was really short and we are both tired from lack of sleep but we feel that the trip was well worth it.

Today we had a long day of adoptive parenting class at our homestudy agency. It was long but we did learn a lot.
