1- Choose place to handle adoption. Done: Adoption Network Law Center
2- Send in "pre-approval" paperwork (and one photo-I guess so they know we are not weirdos!!) Done: They said we were "Oh so cute" and would have no trouble finding a match.
3- Apply for loan to fund this super cheap project. Done: Now if the magic loan fairy would come and pay it off...
4- Send in official legal paperwork and promise to pay them. STOP!! This is where we got to a few years ago and then I lost my job and we were not able to continue. So we waited and waited for the right time and now we are here!! So.... Done: We signed on the dotted line and got the process rolling.
5- Home Study- The process where you are interviewed for hours and they come to your house and ask you lots more questions and then write a report that says if you are fit to be parents or not. It's a federal regulation so we have to do it. Pretty much done. The social worker came to our house and we chatted for a while. We are both working on finishing our autobiographies and the other paper work that goes along with it.
6- Gather pictures for our profile that have:
NO sunglasses, NO hats, NO alcoholic beverages, NO swimsuits....Hmmm....well that eliminated almost all of our good action shots. So thankfully we have a few really good friends and family that agreed to do photo shoots with us so we could get the required number of pics. Done.
7- WAIT, and wait and wait. We are now waiting for our profile to be put up online so that we can be matched.
