To the Tune of "Santa Claus is Coming to Town"

"She was given a list
She's checking it twice
To try to find out what's apositlled or not
We are adopting from Colombia."

Yep, that is me right now and checking machine! It is amazing how much I have been able to check off our application list lately. Our agency provided us with a nice list of everything we would need to have for our adoption, a nice list of 21 items. Most of these items are a 3 part process, so in order to get that lovely check mark, I have to have all 3 parts. I am pleased to say I have 3 things completely checked off in the last week. I have 3 more next week.
It seems in the past week or so, I have really been able to see progress with everything. Being able to check an item off the list from the agency is huge to me. This is a step I thought would take much longer and take much more. Grant it, it is not always easy, but it is for sure not as hard as I thought it would be. There have been a few bumps in the road, which is to be expected, like trying to find a notary to show up for our physical appointments, but I somehow have made it all work!
It almost looks like within the next month or so I will have over half of the items checked off the list, WOW!
