Today after work, Tim and I drove in the 3 degree weather to Arby's in Dwight, IL to meet with our home study caseworker. It turns out our home study agency itself is 3 hours away, but our caseworker graciously agreed to meet us 1/2 way. I think she took pity on us because of Cale. He is sick, poor thing. His nose, and now chin are completely red and raw because of the excessive amounts of snot running down it. Plus, he's got horrendous diaper rash! A recipe for disaster with a 1 1/2 year old. At any rate, the meeting went well, and she told us we wouldn't have to meet again. We're just waiting on physician letters for our physicals, and our police background check and we are all done with the home study. YES!! Next adventure: I600A, more fun to follow.

Tim & Katie: We got your note/comment on our blog and I couldn't figure out how to reply . . . So, I decided to comment on yours as a way of getting back in touch. We started our adoption paperwork/home study in Jan 2008. Sent our dossier to AAI on July 24 and it went to Ethiopia a few weeks later. Originally we hoped for siblings under the age of 3 - - but it became clear to us that we would need to wait 18 months (probably more) for that scenario to present itself. We want an infant because we don't have any bio children. We didn't request a particular gender. We are letting that up to divine intervention. If you want to chat, feel free to email me anytime at donovan (at) robertswitmer (dot) com. Blessings, Donovan
