XP: One step closer!

I also posted this on the Adoption board, but wanted to update you ladies as well.  I'm also trying to update my siggy with a new picture, etc., but so far it's only let me delete the old one.  Stay tuned...

I dropped off all of our homestudy paperwork at the post office this afternoon!  The envelope weighed almost 2 pounds, and contained the following documents:

2 homestudy questionnaires (20 pages each)

10 year residence history (1 page)

Adoption Services Agreement (3 pages)

Authorization for Background Checks (1 page)

Firearm Statement (1 page)

Clients Rights & Responsibilities (4 pages)

Statement of Understanding (1 page)

Waiver of Confidentiality (1 page)

2 copies each of: Driver's License, SS card, insurance cards, birth certificates (7 pages)

copy of marriage license (2 pages)

7 pictures (front of house, living room/inside play area, backyard play area, nuclear family, 1 each of the three dogs)

Copies of vaccinations for all 3 dogs (6 pages)

Floor plan with dimensions and room labels (1 page)

Financial agreement (2 pages)

Tax returns for 2 previous years (first two pages of 1040, 4 pages total)

 Altogether that's about 81 pieces of paper. O_O  And that doesn't include the physicals, personal and pastoral reference letters, or our initial application, plus employment verifications, etc. that have already been requested/mailed out. It's insane, lol.

Next steps: wait to be contacted to schedule seminar (2 days) and interviews (3 days, including 1 in our home).

Awesome! I remember how great it felt to finish all of the adoption paperwork. The best paperwork is yet to come. J's legal papers are my favorite "light" reading.
