2/23/06 - #2

This is hard! Both Em and I have been working on the Self Study for the past 5 days and we are finding it tiring work! There are 19 questions that require some in-depth answers that are at times very personal and private. I didn't think it would be this difficult.

But Emilee is pretty much done, having written hers on legal pads, she is now in the process of typing it up. I began typing from the beginning, and I am little more than half-way through the questions.

The plan is to be done by Monday afternoon, in time to send it out in the mail and get it on it's way to CHSFS. Once they recieve it, they can begin the home study process. Yeah!

The Journey Begins

2/19/06- #1

With our initial application sent in and our attendance in PAC (Pre-Adoption Classes), we have officially begun the adoption process! Yeah!

The next step is to complete our self-study, a 8-10 page answer to about 12 questions relating to our lives. This information will then be used in our homestudy write up by our social worker.
We have just begun this, and it's tough writing it up!
