Adoption update

Just wanted to update everyone. Last week we received some news on the adoption. Standard rule of thumb is that when adopting through the state, the children will reside with you as foster children for a period of 6 months prior to a petition for adoption being filed. Our 6 months will be up on June 11. Last week they informed us we do not have to wait any longer!! We have a document that needs to be returned from the State, but once we have that, we can file our petitions! WHOA! We are so excited! The kids are all changing their names in some little way besides switching to Cain. It will be so nice because we should have it all completed June 5!!! Three days prior to my 40th birthday! Can' t think of a better gift!
