We just got word, Mark and I both passed our psychological evaluations w/ flying colors! We also passed our background and fingerprinting and references! Our final homestudy is this coming Friday, April 14th, at 1:00 PM. By 3 PM, we will be officially known as "potential adoptive parents", licensed for adoption in the state of Minnesota!
What a great birthday present, a week early!!!

Get involved in animal rescue. You won't be sorry. Your heart may break, there may be times when your eyes are red-rimmed for days. You may lose faith in the goodness of people, but your spirit will be renewed by the resilience of those you save. It isn't easy, but it's worth it. I promise you, you will be forever changed.

I'm gonna stop looking back and starting moving on
And learn how to face my fears
Love with all of my heart, make my mark
I wanna leave something here
Go out on a ledge, without any net
That's what I'm gonna be about
Yeah, I wanna be running
When the sand runs out

LOL...so true. By the time you're done jumping thru the foster parent hoops you are prepared for just about anything.

We are hoping to have the rest of our homestudy paperwork turned in in a couple of weeks... it has been a whirlwind since we decided to go for this but it's so exciting.
Anyway, glad you're getting there!

It's very exciting. We went to get fingerprinted today and I sent the fingerprint cards to the FBI today. I also made the appointments with the doctor to get our physicals. So moving along pretty quickly, I think.

Do you have to have psych evals in your state? That took the longest for us. I booked the evals at the end of Jan, we had them in the beginning of March, and just got the results back last week!

Nope, no psych evals here -- there is a portion of the physical exam that deals with mental health, though so we do have to pass a screening of sorts, I guess.
