It's ON!!!

Our home study was approved today!!!  We are now in the search for our Oger!  Boo is excited, but I think the reality of having to share life with another kiddo in the house is beginning to set in. Boo is asking a lot of good questions.
We are using a CPS website that lists profiles of available kids.  We can see if any of them might be a match and then we submit an interest to their case worker.  From there, there are lots of exchanges of information before the case worker has collected enough information and interest inquiries from other parents. The case workers then choose from those inquiries whom to proceed down the process with.  After that, we would get more information and have more information exchanges until we get to a point where we and the case worker both agree that a meeting with the child is in order.  From there, we would have several meetings before we would have the child over for a sleep-over.  In other words, this is a LONG process.
But, it is ON!!!
