  1. We are thrilled for you Matthew and Betsy and so happy to hear about Avery Elizabeth. The name is just beautiful! It sounds like the wait was well worth it and we are so glad that you were there for your sweet birthmother. We are so sorry to hear that Betsy is so sick and will be saying prayers for her recovery and for your healthy days ahead for the three of you!! Enjoy every moment of these first days -- they are so very special.

    Lots of love and well wishes --

    Susan, Bill and Good Buddy Cousin Tasia!!

  2. Congratulations Kenneth and Mary!! Welcome to your new little boy and enjoy your time in San Antonio! Let's hope the weather is nice so that you can get out and enjoy all that the city has to offer. Where are you staying?

    Love, Susan and Bill

  3. Abrazo recently heard from an out-of-state couple who had to pay $4K for just a homestudy update!!!  blink.gif

    Please, please, shop around... while folks are often reluctant to question social workers for fear of offending them, the profession does still require accountability and we can't imagine how any agency could justify this kind of update fee-- no matter how reputable an agency seems to be.

    Our homestudy update would have been $375

    Our homestudy was $1200 with each additional visit as needed at $325

    If any folks are in the MD/VA/DC area we would highly recommend Adoptions Together -- they did our homestudy and are now doing our post-placement.

    Yes, Amy, word from the home front is that the Texas flag is flying!! Our neighbors got it up when we called with our official news yesterday morning. I have finally posted our official brief announcement on 10-4-Good Buddies just now...Tasia is just done with her 12:30 feeding and it is time for 3 more hours of shut eye...off to bed!
