Making some progress!

We started this adoption process in July 2010, and I finally feel like we are making some progress! This weekend I finished my autobiography! It was 120 thought provoking questions like:

• Describe your spouse. List 3 strengths and 3 weaknesses.
• What are your plans for working once your child comes home? What if your child isn't ready to go to school and/or daycare when you are ready to go back to work?
• What are your most significant life experiences? Which of those experiences are with children and/or lead you to adoption?

Sheesh!

That's just for our Home Study agency. Now I am working on the form for our Child Finding (International) agency. Their questions are more specific to culture and there is even a section about bringing older children home.

I know that in the long run we will be glad that we have filled out all of this paperwork, and have thought through these questions, but right now... Right now I want to be done with all of this and on a waiting list.

I know, I know... In a couple months I will be complaining about the wait for a referral! :)
