One step closer.......PAPERWORK COMPLETE!



YIIPPEEEEEEEE! Today, we are one step closer to getting our baby! We completed the scrapbook for the birthmother over the weekend. We had a lot of fun doing it and it really shows our personality. I had my physical on Monday (TB test negative), my husband finished his autobiography and we baby proofed the house (chemicals behind child locks and all the outlet covers in). We turned in ALL our paperwork to the adoption agency today!!!!! Home study here we come!

CONGRATULATIONS!!! Doesn't it feel SO GOOD to be moving along and making progress? I am so thrilled for you and I just know your mommy days are coming soon. :) GOOD LUCK with the home study. I was super nervous when we did ours, but it wasn't nearly as bad as I had feared.

Hugs,

Melba

Tracey,
That is just wonderful! The paper trail seems to take forever! I remember when we had our first homestudy. I couldn't wait for it to be translated and sent to Korea. I was so excited when that step was complete. Your homestudy will bring you even closer to your precious baby!
Blessings~

YAY!! Those are huge steps to have done! Our home study really wasn't too bad, mostly an afternoon of interviews at the agency, then a home visit later. Do you know what will be involved with yours? When will you have it done? I'm so happy for you to be so much closer to your baby!!!

Whew!!! Doesn't THAT feel good to have it all done!!!

I know you will be nervous about your homestudy and it's almost useless for me to say this, but DON'T WORRY about it! They tend to be pretty laid back for most folks.

Let us know when the first meeting is scheduled!!

I am SO happy for you. I watched my cousin and her husband struggle for 10 years to conceive a child and cried happy tears for them when they finally decided to adopt. I know it wasn't an easy choice for them but it was meant to be as they found a birth mother and baby within 1 month of their search. They are now the proud parents of a beautiful little 3 year old.

When is your baby due?
