Our Homestudy is APPROVED! :D
We got it in the mail yesterday, but the actual date of approval was 7-7-06. We are one small step closer to our child!

Isn't it great reading the homestudy?
Ours was glowing and made us sound better than ever - kinda flattering after all we'd been through with IF treatments.

I dunno, ours wasn't really "glowing" I guess -- I'd say it's positive but not overly so.

Yep, it went well, I think. DH is bringing the application and supporting documents here as we speak to be photocopied and signed and sent off.
