The adoption paper work
It arrived yesterday. It’s incredibly daunting but they include a little check sheet and remind you to take it one piece of paper at a time.
I need to have five non-family references and our agency asks that one be from a physician and one from our “spiritual advisor.” I wrote them and said that we don’t have a family doctor and Noah’s doctor has changed since our insurance changed besides which the doctor barely even knows him because Noah is never sick. She said we could skip the doctor and add another friend. Then I wrote our rabbi to give him a heads up and heard nary a word. Arghh.
We have a training at the end of March about the process specifically at the agency and we’re supposed to turn in a rough draft of our autobiography. I’ve started that. It’s exciting to have this fat, packet of paper even if the size of it is overwhelming.
I wish you well in this rather frustrating process. My beloved and I have (hopefully) just finished our home study. A process that we were told would take two to three months has taken, well, eight.
*wry smile* The things we do to be able to be parents, no?
Blessings and peace to you!
