Taxes

We had our taxes done today and are receiving a nice refund (both state and federal)! This is great news, as most of this money is already earmarked for our adoption expenses. Even though we were expecting this money, it is a nice feeling when it actually comes through. Unfortunately, our employer accidently credited some of Susie's earnings towards the state of Kansas, though we don't live or work in Kansas. Then they didn't pay any taxes on that income, so now we owe money to a state we don't live in or work in...Way to go payroll department! Hopefully it will all get worked out.
We have our second home study meeting today with our social worker. She is really great and we get along well. She is full of useful information about bonding with a child who has been in sub-par care for a short time. It is difficult for both of us to actually picture ourselves with this baby because it seems so far away. I do feel like we are making strides at getting all the paperwork completed, but then the actual waiting begins. This will probably be difficult, but we have the boys to keep us VERY busy.
