November is National Adoption Month

November 1, 2007

Today begins National Adoption Month!

Also we had our first Group study meeting tonight. It went well. There is another couple who is adopting from Viet Nam, and they also have biological children. Three actually, a 15 year old daughter, a 4 year old daughter and a 7 year old son. Madison is approaching 6, so we hope that we will be able to get together with them once we have our children home.

We have most of our paperwork in. We even had to have a 10 page typed autobiography. Boy those were tough. We are still waiting on our birth certificates and our marriage license, but they should be in the mail next week. Next is Dr's appointments and fingerprinting!! But they are time sensitive and must be done closer to the end.

We have 2 more group studies 3 1/2 hours each for 3 Thursdays in a row. Then once all of our paperwork is in, we will have another interview, and then our social worker will come do a home visit. Then we are done with our Home Study, and move on to phase II which is....you guessed it......MORE PAPERWORK!!!

We also got confirmation that our application to PLAN (our international agency) was received!!! We should have our contracts from them soon.
