Paperwork Begins

Well we received the paperwork the other day. I think that we counted about twenty some documents of various types that we have to do in order to start the Home study. Some were very easy name etc. others will be be quiet time consuming and lengthy. I think that I will make it my goal to try and complete a portion of it every day until it is complete. Some of the paperwork will require long bits of writing as we answer the various questions that need to be answered. We also sent away for my daughter's passport so that we would not have to worry about that before we travel. As it is good for five years there is no doubt that it will still be good when we travel even if the process takes longer than normal. Well the paper chase has begun I think that this will be the most difficult part besides the waiting for a referral once the paperwork and dossier have been submitted. Of course anytime that you are dealing with any government office hurry up and wait is not uncommon. So therefore in the case of an international adoption where you have to deal with a minimum of 2 countries governments there is a potential for a lot of the hurry up and wait.
