We have been in contact with our "agency", and have received instructions for our dossier. Much of what is necessary needs to come from our social worker and getting her supervisor to sign some papers. We have to take pictures of our home, kid's room, park, library, etc. and have that submitted. Some documents need a special stamp from the state called an "apostille". We may go to Springfield on Tuesday to have that done if we get the forms from our social worker. We would like to get it all done this week.

Today we put the kid's beds together so we can take a picture of them. We were given bunk beds by Pete's brother and wife, so we plan to separate them and put them side by side in the same room for now. The kids are used to sleeping together in the same room so hopefully that will make them more comfortable. We will include a picture of the room at some point.
