Thanks for doing this! I can't imagine the time it takes to organize the information. We are gathering information and deciding on an agency/facilitator.

You Rock!! I'd like to be added, if that's OK.

rach2100: Domestic Adoption; Homestudy in Progress

Thanks!

JanieJones · October 2010

I think monthly is better anyhow, bi-weekly is too much.

Go_Dawgs · October 2010

Please add me! We have a placement and are waiting for finalization.

Smiley_grl52 · October 2010

This is awesome! Keep up the good work!!

amberfernandez · October 2010

Thanks for doing this! No changes here, we're hoping to finalize by the end of the year, but we still have to have one more medical checkup no sooner than 5-months, which is 10/21/10. Then we get the report to the social worker, and hope that when they schedule all court dates for the rest of the year in the beginning of November, we get one.

AdoptiveMommy · October 2010

YOU ROCK!!!

We are finalized!! June 1st 2010

ryannat · October 2010

This is great! Can you please add that we were matched in September with baby #2? Baby girl is due in January.

Thanks,

Nat

Hartmaj · October 2010

This is great! We are investigating four Chicago agencies, planning to make a decision and start the application process by the end of November.

katieranck2202 · October 2010

We are working on our homestudies and should get licensed by the end of the month.

715inNC · October 2010

you can add me:

715inNC under foster to adopt, in classes, estimated license nov. 2010

silliestbunny · October 2010

Thanks so much for doing this!

Birth mom 1 was due on Saturday so she's officially overdue!
We had some paperwork snafu (our homestudy agency won't provide certain documents due to CA law) but I think all is good. We remain cautiously optimistic! After our last failed match, I won't do a happy dance until we are holding a baby. Every time the phone rings, we jump. We are super excited but also cautious.

koda927 · October 2010

You can move us to matched. Birthmom is due in March. Thanks!

CaptainSerious · October 2010

Thanks so much for doing this! I know it's a lot of work.

anangelbug · October 2010

Yay! You can move me to "Waiting". Thanks

come*on*baby · October 2010

Thanks for all your hard work!

we have now finalized DS2 and we're happily a family of 4. We will only be doing respite care.

BEANCOUNTR76 · October 2010

Can I join? We are heading for Domestic Infant Adoption and are about to sign with both our agency and the group doing our home study.

hoping4more · October 2010

Update: Home study almost done... It's getting close. We just need to read and edit the draft (which I received today) and get the final copy signed and turned in. After that we have a safety study and then we will be on our way!!

marikoono · October 2010

International Adoption from the Philippines. We're in the homestudy process. Thanks!
