72 pages.

We finished up our application and got it sent off today!  Our last things on the list were getting our fingerprints and finishing out adoption study questionnaire.  In total, it took us only 1 week and 1 day to pull all of this together.  We got really lucky with some stuff.  For instance, I called on Monday about getting fingerprints done, and they ONLY do them Monday nights and Saturday mornings.  Well, Saturday would've been too late to meet our deadline.  So thank goodness, I called Monday instead of waiting until Tuesday like we were going to.  Otherwise we would've been too late!

Photo time!  Here are our finished fingerprint sheets:

And here's the 72 pages of application we had to fill out (sorry about the quality - cell phone photo).

Mailing it off!

Training is next week (Thursday).  After that, we just need to get physicals, do our home study, get our references, and make our profile book!  We want to get a baby room ready so that when we get that call, we are all ready to go.  We'll also need to buy a carseat.

I can't believe how fast this has all come together!  Hopefully it happened that way for a reason, and that reason being that there is already a baby growing in someone else's tummy for us, and we need to rush to get it all done so that we can bring him or her home soon.  :)
