I've heard from A LOT of people that Adoptive Families magazine is an excellent resource.
Congrats on getting the paperwork in! Homestudy is oh-so-much-fun. Though, it really was great for us because it helped us realize how in-tune with each other we really were, how close we were, and how well we communicate. It actually brought us closer!
