Quick Turnaround

Wow, yesterday we got an e-mail from CCAI telling us that our application looked great and that once they have our personal references we can be officially approved. Last time that was a quick process as well, so we should be on our way soon.

All Colorado families must attend a second orientation which won't occur until August 13th. We won't be given a new dossier guide until a short time before that. I assume everything is pretty much the same, but I'm a little leery of rule changes, so I probably won't do too much with our documents until we get that guide. I know we have until December, but it would still feel good to get things moving just in case we end up with some huge, unexpected snag along the way. Oh well, God's timing!

On the up side, we have our first appointment to work on the homestudy update and we have all the copies of birth and marriage certificates ready to go for certification on a moment's notice--including Jeff's from the notoriously slow state of Nebraska. And best of all, we have a much better understanding of the entire process now. I know I've forgotten lots, but I don't feel nearly as intimidated this time around.
