home study finished

Before we started the adoption I did not really understand the process or the work involved. I knew it was not easy but the details confused and overwhelmed me. We have come a long way since we started working on our dossier paperwork in the beginning of June.

This past week we hit a milestone by receiving our notarized home study. A home study is a report written by a social worker and is a key component to the dossier. One of the reason the home study is significant is because it allows us to apply for the last government clearance needed for a completed dossier.

It is exciting to finish something and get the last major thing started. While we wait for it to be completed we will be working on smaller parts of the dossier that we do ourselves.
