Some progress...sort of

Adoption is the definition of the hurry-up-and-wait mentality.  I busted my butt to gather our home study paperwork, our social workers were super speedy in writing, reviewing and completing the written portion only to have to wait 3 weeks for our clearances from California...grrr!  We now have the proper clearance and now we can finally move forward.

So, hopefully in the next week we will finally get to submit for our first piece of immigration paperwork!  We cannot even begin to estimate a timeline until our dossier gets to China, and it will be a couple months until we are done with it.  As soon as I can halfway guess when he'll get home I'll let you know!

The most exciting news of all is that he finally has a name!!!! This was a HARD process this time.  We tried many names, ruled out many names, re-tried names and finally found, what we think is the perfect one!  Look closely...

We will call him Max Jacob McNeely!!!
