We are done with our Home Study Report, and are now just waiting for it to be mailed out to us. (Godstop: it's been faster than we thought - we were originally told ten weeks, but it took between six and seven weeks.) We are also waiting for Noah's passport to be done, and when that's ready we'll be able to apply for a Dependent's Pass to bring him into Singapore. We think we should have him home by the first week of September!
We had to attend a disclosure workshop a few nights ago; it is one of the requirements of our HSR. The main thing we got out of it: we really want to be able to create some memories for Noah even before he comes home to us. So we are thinking seriously about making a trip in the next few weeks to visit him in the home in Manila. The aim is for us to bring back memories of his time there, so that we have something to show him when he asks us about his life before he came home to us. We want to have a few more answers ready for when he asks. And it'll be a good process of creating memories for J and E too, of how their family came to be.
PS. It boggles my mind to think that when Noah comes home, we'll have three kids under the age of five! Deep breath...
*Edited to add: In the latest three-month-old photos of Noah, he's holding his head up when on his tummy already! A milestone that we've missed...
