What's next?

We survived the homestudy! After all of my fretting, it turned out not to be painful at all. The social worker that we spent our day with was very kind and encouraging. She is very involved in her church and we found lots to talk about. We will see her again when we have had the baby home for 3 months.
I thought I would briefly explain what would happen next for those of you who are interested. As far as the homestudy goes, th social worker assured us she would have it written in the next week. It will then go to Gladney for review and to get a second signature. When that is accomplished, they will send a copy of it to CIS and we'll just wait for our 171H (AKA: the golden ticket of international adoption.) That could take anywhere from 3 weeks to 3 months. Once we receive that piece of paper, we will officially go onto the "list." I am hoping we can get on the list by mid-April. However, there is not one darn thing I can do to make it happen by that time.
Once we hit the "list" we will wait 3-5 months for our referral, then 3-6 weeks to receive our court date, another 3-4 weeks for the court date to actually happen, and then 2-3 weeks after the court date we will travel to pick up our son. At any point, things could slow down, so we are trying to be emotionally prepared for that.
While we are waiting for our golden ticket, we will be having our dossier authenticated. We contacted a dossier service today and we will be sending our documents to them on Monday. Then, we will be finished with our part of the process. All we can do at that point is wait, pray, and correct any mistakes or make any changes should it become necessary.
I will be so thrilled to mail our dossier on Monday because that means I have done what I can do. Although the real waiting will begin at that point, the stress and distraction of the paper chase will be over and I can get back to some sort of normal. Normal? What's that?
