So now it's April 1, 2007, I have been quite busy. I have been fingerprinted twice and cleared by New York State, the FBI, and I have received my child abuse clearance, I created my Home Study Autobiography, I have filled out more questionaires than you can count, I have had the first two meetings with my social worker, I have been interviewed by a psychiatrist who has approved me to be an adoptive parent, I finally received my passport, I sent out documents to be notarized, I have taken, tested and passed the required ten hours of Hague Accrediation education for adoptive parents, I have received my recommendation letters (special thanks to those of you who took the time to write these for me), and I have created the first draft of my Dossier documents for review by CHI. Much more work to do in the coming weeks, I am trying to get the paperwork aspect of this done as quickly as possible. I'll keep you posted.
