Making Progress Again
November 11th, 2007 Posted in AdoptionIronically enough, our adoption process has slowed down a bit the past couple weeks while we’ve also been intently blogging about adoption. We finished our home study and received the massive stack of paperwork for our dossier and that’s pretty much when things slowed down. It didn’t help that the latest adoption bill came at the same time, and paired with the check that must be sent in with the dossier, it’s almost half the total bill.
Yeah, ouch.
So you can see why things have slowed down. We’re not eager to pay those bills.
But in the last few days we’ve started moving again. Well, Abby has us moving and I’m trying not to slow us down. She has a running check list of what we need to do and last night we filled out paperwork to request extra copies of our birth certificates (yes, we know how to party on a Saturday night).
Among the paperwork we still need is a letter from the chief of police saying we’re not criminals, a letter from the bank saying we have money, a letter from our doctor saying we won’t die, and letters from both our employers saying we have jobs (and yes, being self-employed I’m supposed to write my own letter). The only thing we don’t need is a letter from our great-aunt Ruth. Though we might need a letter from you, so don’t be surprised if we ask.
