Here we go....

We have an update from Bethany. I'll just cut and paste the email so we can share the news.

Greetings J & A:

Welcome to Bethany Christian Services! Your international formal application has been received and approved. You have been matched with ________, an adoption social worker in the ________ office. She will be contacting you within 3-5 weeks to schedule home study meetings. During this time, we will be processing your background checks, sending for references, etc. Please remind your references to reply in a timely fashion. Also, please schedule your physical examination appointments at this time.

You have been added to the "Korea" e-mail group. You will be receiving country updates, referral/travel announcements, and general Bethany information that I send out to all international Bethany-Wisconsin families in the Korea adoption program. Your email address will be hidden as confidential. If you prefer to list a different email, please let me know. We look forward to working with you on this precious journey of adoption.

(I removed the name of our social worker, we'll just call her "D" when making reference to her here.)

So here we go, the journey continues....................
