Paper work is done! (for now)

Chris and I finally got all of our papers done this week (Thursday night to be exact) and sent it out this morning. The first set weighed just under 2 pounds and this set weighed exactly 1 pound. Talk about a lot of paper! All of our other papers (doctor report, references, etc) are in, or at least will be next week. One of our references didn't get their form out until yesterday, but that is okay with us as it was in the mail before our last set of papers! Buckner should have the package by 3:00 on Monday. Now we get to wait.

Chris and I were talking about the financial stuff this morning while running errands. We figured that we will need at least $35,000 for just one child. It will take around $45,000 - $58,000 to adopt up to 4 children. Right now our most pressing concern is the $8,000 that we will need for the home study process (Buckner fees, Immigration form fees, fingerprinting fees, etc).
