Well, we have chosen an agency! YAY!! That was hard for us. We wanted to make sure that we picked the right one. We feel very comfortable with the one we chose. So, we are now filling out all of the paperwork. Tons and tons and tons of paperwork. We are making sure we cross every t and dot every i. I never realized how much went in to the paperwork. Wow. But, it's worth it. And I guess they do have to make sure you aren't a wierdo. We got our fingerprints done. We go in for our physicals next week. Our application is due Feb. 12th. So... we better get moving.
With the agency that we chose we didn't have to fill out the preapplication. Nice! I am from Native American background (Great-grandma was full blood) so that allows us to skip the pre-app! YAY! Less paperwork. And, we get put up on the list. YAY!!! Even better! I guess because they like to put Native Amer. babies with other Native Americans. I'm assuming. But, they did tell us that if another child was available before the an Indian baby would could have placement with them also. So that's a good thing. My hubby always laughs at me when we talk about me being Native American. My blonde hair, blue eyes! LOL. But, I have my card. My great-grandma was on the rolls. Forced to be on them. So, I'm proud of it!!! :)
Well, that's where we are right now with our adoption process. Right in the middle of paperwork. We are very excited. It seems like it is happening so fast.. but we are glad. We are trying to get all the work done and turned in (hopefully early) so that it will take that stress off of us. Then we'll just have to sit and wait.
God is truely blessing us through this experience. I know He has a lot more in store for us. We are excited to see what that is!

that is so exciting! My husband and I are filling out our paperwork too but I find it daunting! All the questions and forms, etc. I know it's worth it but it sort of annoys me that most people just have sex and end up with a kid even when they aren't "qualified" and we have to get fingerprinted, checked for diseases, etc. Oh well. So are you hoping for a domestic adoption or international? I have my doctor's appointment on Monday and I'm hoping to get the paperwork filled out by next weekend. Wish me luck and motivation!
p.s. from your picture it is really hard to believe you are native American!:)
I just re-read your post...So are you on some sort of list to adopt Native American babies? I didn't even know that was an option...
