Into the Thick of It

In a few days I will post our adoption timeline/process. We have completed our interview with the agency, received our contract and are in the paperchase. So far we have had two homestudy interviews and we have our 3rd and final interview next week. We have to get our physicals (including Chloe) and our homestudy agency needs our three references returned and our homestudy will be ready to go. At our final interview next week we get to read a preliminary draft of our homestudy.

In the meantime, I have been gathering some of the documents needed for the adoption (like birth certificates, etc.). Since this is our third time gathering items for a dossier I began collecting everything about a month ago. Once we also see our draft homestudy next week I will begin gathering the paperwork and documentation necessary to file our 1-600a.

So far, gathering everything for the dossier has been eerily smooth, including our homestudy. Lets hope it continues that way.
