First Meeting with Our Adoption Worker

We had our first meeting with our adoption worker on Friday. We spent about an hour with her chatting and going over all the stuff we need to do from here. If they made everyone go thru what they make adoption parents go thru, they would not need to have a Foster Care system!

Here is what is on the horizon for us now. We have to each write an autobiography, we have 3 more classes to take, a physical, we need to fill out a financial statement, we each have to have individual interviews with our worker (which will be 2 - 3 hours long - each), have health records requested, write up a profile/letter to birth mother in case someone comes in and wants to pick the parents, and then the last thing we will need to do is have a in-home interview which will be 2 - 3 hours long.

Our worker seems really nice which is good since we'll be spending so much time with her! Oh and we got fingerprinted again on Friday. Seems a little daunting but will be worth it in the end. Could we get lucky and get a special Christmas present this year???
