Home Study Paperwork...Complete!

This past week we wrapped up gathering/filling out all the necessary items for our home study. When we ran a master copy of all we had gathered and filled out for our home study alone, it totaled 63 pages...not including the reference letters we have sent out or the Autobiography Forms that we emailed to our case worker a few weeks ago. (Those totaled 18 pages between the two of us!) We have had physicals, had every possible background check run on us, been fingerprinted, and filled out paperwork on basically every aspect of our lives! Ha!

The next step of our home study is going to be this Thursday (January 19th.)  Our caseworker will come to our apartment and double check our paperwork, interview Kevin and I together and separately, and look around our apartment to make sure it is suitable for a baby.  After our initial visit, we will have one more visit where we go over more infant and trans-racial adoption training. (Kevin and I have already been knocking out the training we can do on our own.) Once all that is complete, our case worker will write our home study, and we will have another step of the process complete!
