A fellow adoptive family referred to the long process of filling out form after form as a "paper pregnancy". I have to say it truly does feel like a pregnancy. Things seem to move in slow motion despite the fact that papers and fees seem to come due awfully fast. We are currently working on our Home study which entails obtaining background checks, certified copies of birth/ marriage/ divorce documents, parent training certificate (requiring so many hours of training), guardianship forms, and of course the 25+ page autobiography of your life. All of these have to be notarized. And this week we meet with our social worker for our final interview.
We started this whole process in December and everyday it gets harder to not be able to see our little girl. I have faith that things will all work out in the end. I have had this feeling since the moment Cory said yes, so I just keep plugging along and ticking things off the "To Do" list. I have to give a huge shout out to all of you who have helped along the way. Your kindness and willingness to help means the world to us and we couldn't be more appreciative.
Here is the video they sent me of our little girl when I inquired about her. Enjoy!
