First Paperwork has Arrived

Well, we got the first paperwork from the agency today. I was expecting a huge mountain of papers to fill out. Instead, it was copies of things we already signed, and a statement requesting payment for the home study. We already gave them $350 just to apply (i wonder if they deny people???), and now we owe them $1400 before we can proceed. blah. Once we pay it and get our home study started, the info we provide is only "good" for one year, so we are going to wait a while to make payment and start the ball rolling faster.....once we get started, we want to move quickly...but we still have money issues slowing us down. :( I just keep reminding myself that, chances are, we WILL be parents by this time next year :)
