Progress!

We had our 2nd Home Study today. There was not much to it, just verifying the information from our last one. Now, all we have to do is get our medicals and a few other minor documents and we can apply for 1-600 (approval to bring an infant child into the US) and we can start working on our Dossier (documents needed to send to Ethiopia).

Moving right along!

Well, we had our 1st Home Study Weds. That went really well. It was helpful that we adopted before. Even though a Home Study is only valid for 18 months, the Social Worker could use a lot of our information from the last one. The next one is scheduled for Weds and then we will just wait for her to write it up!

We finally chose an agency and feel really good about it! They are a smaller agency and seem very caring and ethical. For those of you who went through it with us before, you know agency choice is very important! Hopefully, things will go smoother this time. Now we just start gathering documents for our Dossier, this is the stack of paperwork that goes to Ethiopia. Once our Dossier is logged in Ethiopia, we are told 2-6 months for a referral, which is an actual child available for adoption. Hope everyone has a great 4th!
