So far so good.

We filled out the final paper work for the adoption on February 2nd. As of right now Adoption day is 70 days away.

We spent our first weekend without him this past weekend. He went and spent a weekend with his former foster parents. He was nervous that we would not show up to pick him up. But, he was excited to see our car sitting at the pickup point when he got there. I think that relived a lot of fear in him about the adoption, because he started doing something with me he has never done before. He helped me cook supper Monday and Tuesday night.

So as of yesterday the adoption is two months away. Brandon and I got a text today from our caseworker saying that "You're adoption home study was finalized on Friday! The adoption date should be a go!" So April 25th can't get here fast enough. We are all really excited and Brandon and I can't wait to share pictures that day.

As of today we have 38 days until the adoption.

Yesterday we took Hindryk to the model railroad shop in Deshler, NE. And can I  say he was overwhelmed and he was exhausted after spending an hour looking around and shopping. He ended up bringing home with him three N scale items. One Rock Island gp38-2, one hopper car with graffiti, and a custom loaded 85 foot flat car.

We took them to the model railroad club layouts in Grand Island NE last night and gave everything a good test run.

Amber and I do have a surprise for Hindryk for the adoption. A club member is giving him an N scale layout that he has sitting around. I will be picking it up Wednesday night. I can't wait to see the look on his face when he sees it!

Quick update.

Adoption day is most likely delayed. Our Attorney has dropped the ball and we are waiting for paper work to be filed.

I will update when we have more information.

So he's going to charge you less right?

Well, the adoption is not in April and will be at the end of May.

We received our paper work from the attorney last night at 9:30pm.

Amber will hand deliver it to the attorney on Wednesday April 4th.

Sorry to hear there’s a delay, I’m sure that’s no fun. But May will be here in no time :-)
