Adoption Status

Things that are done:
  • Home Visit - Jennifer (the social worker) visited our home last week.
  • Couple Interview - During the home visit, Jennifer conducted our interview as a couple.
  • Massive amounts of paperwork - We've filled out and returned everything we have received so far...there will be more though

Things in progress:
  • Erin dropped off her physical form with the doctor today (she had her physical a couple of weeks ago, but we didn't have the forms then)
  • She has her individual interview with Jennifer tomorrow
  • I will go see the doctor on Thursday and drop off my physical form.

  • My individual interview is scheduled for Monday the 23rd
  • At my interview, Jennifer will provide all the stuff needed for the background check. Erin and I will go the ABI when she gets done with school and get fingerprinted.
  • Waiting on responses from our references (to the best of our knowledge, none of them have received their paperwork yet)
  • Erin will turn in copies of our marriage license, our puppy's vaccination records, and copies of our DLs tomorrow at her interview

Things we haven't started yet:
  • Our portfolio for agencies to show expectant mothers
  • Painting and prepping the spare bedroom
  • Contacted CFS to begin their intake process (I planned to call today, but left the number at home...will try to do that tomorrow)

Anyway, as you can see, things are moving right along. We should have the home study complete by the end of March. Then, the waiting. Keep us in your prayers.
