LAST Post Placement Meeting

Another adoption milestone at my house. Our last Post Placement visit has just been completed and will be submitted on time to Russia. I have to admit that it feels good! I had a lovely social worker and the process ran professional and smoothly throughout - But . . . I'm DONE!

YAY! Congratulations. We are not far behind you. We expect our agency to call within the next week or two regarding our final post placement.

I am sure it's a huge relief.

COngrats! I am envious. We have two more to do and, although our social worker is great, it is just a huge hassle. We will do them, of course, but grudgingly. Again, congrats on being done!

Congratulations! Mine is coming up in Sept. and I can't wait. I love my social worker too, so I will be sad not to see her anymore. But it sure is a milestone.

Thanks for sharing in my little celebration. We went to lunch and then to the airport to pick up C's favorite aunt.

I know that there are a few coming up. It is exciting. I assure you that I would love to share in your milestone too.
