PAPERWORK...

I'm feeling flighty today!  I have so many things to do and I'm feeling anxious! :) I was up last night finishing up taxes - I know yuck.... but, we need to have this all finished in order to complete our home-study.  What is a home-study??? Basically, it's a lot of paperwork and meetings with a social worker to determine your eligibility as adoptive parents. The process typically takes 3 months and we are hoping to start at the New Year and be baby ready by March.  (fingers crossed) :)

All this paperwork got me thinking.... What if everyone had to go through this before having a baby?
A brief checklist would look something like this:
1) Are you financially secure?
2) Do you have room for a baby?
3) Do you have a criminal background - and if so, why?
4) Marriage Certificate
5) Fingerprints and Background Check
6) Reference Letters
7) Photographs...........and the list goes on


Well, I can check the photography off my list! lol.  Thank goodness I'm going in to my slow season...I'm gonna need the time! ;) Here is one of many I plan to include...

OUR HAPPY HOME.

I love our home. We bought this 1906 Bungalow last year and it truly is my "dream" house.  Cozy and warm with room to spare for another little one! I can't wait!
