1st Homestudy Interview Completed

Yesterday Ross and I had our first Homestudy Interview at the agency. It was pretty painless. We were asked a lot of questions about our marriage, how we plan to parent, why we want to adopt, about our infertility, if our family is supportive and so on. We have our 2nd interview in early December. These will be individual interviews about ourselves, growing up, relationships with our family, and characteristics of our family members. The third interview is at our home. The social worker will take a look at the house, ask a few more questions and give us the opportunity to ask any questions we might have. Hopefully we can get these interviews completed before Christmas. Things are progressing quickly. I never realized how much work goes into just getting approved for adoption. Thanks for all the support.

Starting the ADOPTION Process

Well as some of you may already know, Ross and I have been trying to conceive for quite some time. We have done IVF with Dr. Hansen of Sioux Falls, which was unsuccessful. Instead of going through more fertility medications and heartache with no guarantee we have decided to move onto the adoption process. Yesterday we sent in our paperwork. Now we wait for it to be processed and to set up an appointment. I hope this is a much quicker process then the last 2 1/2 years have been. Thanks for your support.
