We are almost finished with our paperwork for our adoption. Since "waiting" periods to match with a birthmother vary in length, we decided to fill our already busy schedules with this blog. We think that sharing our thoughts, feelings and experiences would be good for us and maybe somoene else in our shoes.
Yes, we have done tons of paperwork already. We attended an orientation, made a downpayment, attended a weekend intensive course about 90 miles away from home, and made more downpayments.
Our paperwork consisted of our autobiographies, resumes, health history records and physical exams, reference letters, tax documents and FBI fingerprints. We have collected pictures, took some more pictures, finished reading two books, made some more downpayments, and composed our "birthmother letter". We were able to do all this in less than 45 days. This just tells you how serious we are! Or, maybe... we are over-achievers.
Now, we are just waiting for our home visit, where the agency comes to further scrutinize us, our pets, my Batman collection and everything else in our home in the flesh.
We are not done yet... there will be more down payments, paperwork, support groups, meetings, and waiting. One thing's for sure... this is going to be a fun and interesting ride!
