Approved!!!!!

If you've read my posts about sparkly shoes and the conspiratorial folder (Homeschool v. Public School), you have probably inferred that I have spent the better (or worse) part of my life clawing up the smooth face of other peoples' approval. Today it finally happened. Signed, sealed, and delivered to my home, I got approval. Approval from the government of the United States to adopt up to 3 (but we're only requesting 2) "foreign-born orphans" into our "immediate family." I'd have to say, I'd happily sacrifice a revision of my whole junior high experience for this flavor of approval.....MUCH sweeter. Thank you all for your thoughts and prayers. We are WELL on our way....and now the FBI and the Department of Homeland Security agree!
