A little bit of info.

We got notice from Holt that they approved our application. :) It seemed to take forever, but was only about 2 weeks. How shall I ever endure this process, the oh, so ever patient person that I am? We are now awaiting our India "guidebook" to assist us in the rest of the process. It will be a fascinating read. We are currently "negotiating" fees with our homestudy social worker. Pray for favor for us. We will begin our homestudy as soon as we can save up enough for it - probably middle of December/early January. The agency wants the fees up front, but we can get a head start and begin to answer all the detailed questions and do a bunch of the other paperwork. I didn't want to jump into that until we were approved from Holt.
