Orphan Petition
Just a brief adoption update. Our home study is done, and today we are mailing in the ominous sounding Application for Advance Processing of Orphan Petition -- with our check made out to "The Department of Homeland Security." This includes a "biometrics fee" for, yes, a third set of fingerprints. Getting closer...!

All Quiet on the Adoption Front
So, an update. We're just chugging along with all the preliminaries, which include exciting tasks like taking the cats to the vet and proving their rabies shots are up-to-date, getting physicals, getting our water quality report from the water department, and filling out more mounds of paperwork. (This is much more complicated than the first time!) We're meeting with our adoption counselor again in a couple of weeks.
If you want to skip to the end, check out this blog by someone who's adopting through the same agency we are and is currently in Korea picking up her new son. (Cute photo warning...!)
I might as well throw all the personal stuff in one post -- Lieutenant Dan shipped out Monday, and e-mailed briefly from Kuwait yesterday. He'll hopefully be stable and set up in a couple weeks with Internet access on his laptop so that we can Skype.
