Adoption-Step 1
I'd like to call this step information overload. We have a lot of paperwork ahead of us (luckily it's summer vacation...yeah!!). We have to fill out a profile on what kind of child we want, along with employment verification, physicals, and multiple questionnaires. We are very excited about this new adventure God is leading us on but still have many questions. We are working on getting all this paperwork completed and turned in. Then we will have a home study where a counselor will come to our house and interview us. We also have to put together a website and a letter to prospective birthmothers. Once those things are complete, we wait (which will probably be one of the most difficult parts!). Average range is waiting 6-18 months. Once a birthmother narrows down her choice of family, she may call us and we will meet her before the baby is born. Keep checking back as we complete the steps of this process! :) THANKS!
