I'm IN!

Well, after anxiously gripping my cell phone close to me for the last 10 working days and hearing nothing, I finally called the agency to inquire. Let me back up a bit...I called their toll free number on Monday and left a message, but since the ring was strange sounding I wasn't sure if it actually went through. I have been emailing Jen about what I should do. She gave me the correct number yesterday and I called it today. The very nice lady on the phone pulled my file and saw that they sent me an application packet, but they hadn't received anything further. She said she was going to look into it and call me right back. Of course, anytime I'm stressed my IBS kicks in and my stomach starts to cramp. I was in the middle of one of those cramps when she called back. She had found my application. It had been affixed to some other mail and was misplaced. I don't know if they had opened it before and just not filed it or she reviewed it on the spot and decided I was a safe bet. Regardless, I'm in! She told me I should be able to finish the dossier quickly since it is easier than China's. I was also instructed to begin that process and schedule my home study. Yippee! I am over the moon. Of course, now I'm thinking about the money and where it is going to come from. God made a way for the first one, he'll make a way for this one as well. It was so hard for me to not bust with joy. I just wanted to shout it out!!
