Our First Form to LSS

We mailed off our registration form to Lutheran today, which officially begins our adoption journey with them.  We are very glad we found them and love them already.  If anyone is interested in adopting in Colombia, we highly recommend them.

Adoption Classes

Time to learn...Dainis thought he was finished with school!  We are required to take a minimum of ten hours of online classes for our homestudy.  We took a total of five classes and learned a lot.  We will be taking a few more for our process with Lutheran.

Our 2nd Fingerprints

Dainis took a vacation day and we went to the Phoenix police department and got our fingerprints done through live scan today, and it worked.  Yeah!  We then took all of our paperwork to our home study social worker to start our file.  Our fingerprints will now be submitted to the state of AZ to process.  This usually takes 60 days.  We can submit our home study to the AZ court for approval on September 26th.  We will meet with our social worker on August 7th for our first meeting.

When we got home, there was a package waiting for us.  We got pictures of the boys in the mail from Lutheran!  We are so excited that we can now look at them all of the time!

Our 1st Fingerprints

We went and got our fingerprints today.  The prints of my left hand didn't turn out so well!  So, we discovered live scan at the Phoenix Police Department.  If anyone needs to get their fingerprints taken, we highly reccomend this.  Your fingerprints are scanned digitally and then printed out.

Home Schooling Convention

We went to our first homeschool convention today at the Phoenix Convention Center.  We know we want to homeschool, and there is definitely a lot to learn!
