In case you've ever wondered what kind of paperwork is involved in adoption, here's a little taste. Weeeee! Some of those are no big deal - a quick signature and you're done. Others are a ton of work. 18 page forms about you, your spouse, your family, etc. Medical reports to be completed by a physician, with a full history. Fingerprinting. Fun stuff!
Really, looking back I can't believe how quickly we got through all of that. It was really A LOT of work! And sometimes it was a huge pain in the ass. There's a lot of running around, calling references, and just...stuff. When I had all of the forms printed out and put in a pile I was definitely a little overwhelmed, but in retrospect it's all worth it. I'd do it all again 1000 times.
And now that it's done, we're that much closer to realizing our goal. Plus, who doesn't love multiple choice questionaires on their personal life?
