And so it begins...

A disclaimer.

***This blog will probably very obviously become only about our adoption process. Yes there will probably be the occasional education rant, random update of our life, pictures of events and friends, but right now our life is becoming consumed with the adoption process. At this point you have two options. 1. Keep reading. 2. Or don't. For years I have read about your cute little children and all their milestones so give this aching heart of mine a break and allow me to be in the "expectant" stages of recieving my child.***



So the paper trail begins and what a trail it is. Because we are more than likely going with an adoption agency that will be in the state of Virginia we will not only have to go through their paper process but also the agency here in Georgia that will be completing our home study. We have however found a great agency that does a independent home study for pretty cheap (I use that word very loosely.) Our first mount of paper work is coming in the mail this week and this is just the preliminary stuff from both agencies. I am excited to fill all of it out but scared at the same time that at some point someone will read our paper work and tell us there is no way they are going to place a baby with us.

Once the preliminary stuff is sent in and we are accepted into the different agencies we will then go through the home study process which will take a few months to complete.

Ai yi yi! This is going to be a roller coaster ride for sure but we are excited to strap in and take off.
