A little bit of good news for today. We received our notices for fingerprinting from the Department of Homeland Security.  Let's hope our fingerprints actually read.  I don't remember if I wrote about what happened with fingerprinting for the home study, but it took months. This weekend I'm planning to do a little shopping to dress up the cribs and room and we are about ready to start taking pictures of this house for the dossier.  I feel like it's all coming together a bit and I'm getting more excited and optimistic about this actually happening.
