To-Do List

We went to our appt with our case worker last week. All went well there. It was fun to see Bubba more excited than me for a change. I was more bitter. Seriously, there's so much to do. If we were able to have kids "naturally" we wouldn't have to do all this. It took me the rest of the week to chill out about it and now I'm good again. I had a good cry the day before Easter so I got it out of my system (for the most part) before our appt. Its been almost a week now and I feel really good about it again. Now my "to do" list is endless....which is probably a good thing. It'll keep me focused. This is what it entails (as far as I can remember without having the paperwork in front of me):

1- Home inspection. They need to make sure its child proof. We need to get a fire extinguisher and update our first aid kit.
2- Huge questionnaire. Both Bubba and I have to fill our own out.
3- Foster Care Certification
4- Physical Exam
5- Criminal Background Check
6- Fingerprints
7- Letter to Birth Mom (we're doing an open adoption)
8- Publish our "profile" on parentprofiles.com
9- CPR and First Aid certification

I know there is more, but I'm having a brain fart right now. Sounds like fun huh?
