So as you can guess from the title we are doing lots of paper work. We are starting to gather the documents needed for our dossier. A dossier is basically a smorgasbord of information about us. We are going to be very busy for the next couple of months gathering all the necessary documents, filling out forms, and doing our home study. I have made lists of lists. I recommend to anyone who is considering adoption or starting an adoption get a filing system going. There is so much paper to keep track of and keep organized. It is all very overwhelming especially for someone like me who has to be in-control/overly organized all the time. On the other hand every piece of paper that is completed is one step closer to bringing baby home.
Christmas is just around the bend and Sean and I can't help but wonder if we will have a little one helping to decorate the Christmas Tree next year. Sean and I were blessed to be able to spend a weekend at the Homestead with great friends to kick off the Christmas season. We are so blessed to be surrounded by amazing people everyday.
The beginning of your adoption journey is just the start! I remember being so excited every step of the way, because that means you are one step closer to your child(ren)!!
