Training is complete!

I moaned.  I groaned.  I huffed and puffed.  And then I finally did the grownup thing and made myself a schedule for completing the 12 hours of online adoptive parent training.  And guess what.  It did suck.  You know why?  Because you have to hear ALL THE SCARY STUFF.  There were times I was nearly in tears from the pain.  But, having now turned in my certificates to both agencies, I can now say it was beneficial.  And the best thing I can say about it?  I wish I had been required to do it before Elliott's adoption.

In other news, I've now collected 75% of our dossier documents.  I'm now watching the mailbox like a hawk for our USCIS fingerprinting appointment!
