June Update

So, there is good news and frustrating, but ultimately okay, news.

Let’s start with what’s frustrating so we can end on what’s going well! Unfortunately, our lovely 1970s home decided it was time for the sewer pipes under our concrete slab to no longer be usable. We knew that the pipes in our house weren’t great, but we were hoping to wait a little longer for this project.

Fast forward one month, and our downstairs has now been jackhammered, old pipes pulled out, new pipes put in, and concrete poured over the new pipes to repair the jackhammered foundation. What an adventure! Next step is to meet with the person doing our flooring tomorrow – he’s actually someone we went to college with! He will be tearing out the old flooring and putting down new flooring.

While we wish we hadn’t needed to take this time to focus on home repairs (or spend the money on them), we are glad it is now done and will no longer be a concern. Because of this, we also had to go on hold with the adoption wait list.

The good news is that we would’ve been up to number 4 on the wait list! This means that hopefully as soon as we can get our social worker out to do our final home study visit we will go active with our adoption agency very soon after! We are hoping to be able to go active in August.

Other than that, we are setting up the nursery furniture and just getting the house back together!
