What have we been doing????

Well we have been slowly working on gathering all of our documents for the adoption. For those of you whose are not familiar with the process there are three main groups of documents. These include documents for your (1) Home study, (2) USCIS, and (3) Dossier. Rudy and I have been working on collecting documents for all three of these at the same time but primarily placing our focus on the home study.

We have just finished completing our personal profilesf for the homestudy. This was 15 pages of questions about you, your spouse, your childhood, adoption, etc. Some questions included: Describe your personality, How did your parents teach you to be self-reliant, describe how you and your spouse met and dated, and What is your present participation in an organized religous setting. As you can see some the questions were pretty easy and straight forward and others were more thought provoking.

Some of the other types of documents and tasks we have been working on include:
--> requesting all the 911 calls from our residences for the past 5 years which includes Georgia and Texas for us
--> Getting out GBI fingerprinting and we need to go back because we misunderstood that we could do our FBI fingerprinting at the same time.
--> We have doctors appointments next week.

We plan to have all our homestudy documents collected by the end of April and hopefully all other documents by the end of May.

This is what we have been....what have you been up to?
