UPDATE

Our dossier reached our agency earlier this week and the authentication process is going forward. Our homestudy social worker is still working on our report, but the early January LID (log in date) that I am hoping for may actually still be possible.

We got an update from our agency today - 3 new pictures and some vital statistics. Our agency told us we can't post pictures, so I'm going to follow the rules (for now!) but he is so stinking cute! Looks much more like a little man than our referral pictures. He's got some chubby cheeks and hands going on - they had him bundled up in 3 or 4 layers of clothing, so he kind of looked like the Michelin Man. He is walking on his own, saying a few words, has teeth and weights 10kg, which is about 22 pounds?? His foster family reports him as smart, outgoing, and "laugs a lot". He'll fit right in!

He is really cute - I'm not biased at all. I can't wait to get him!
