I have now read a 500 page book, Adoption Parenting, and took a 78 question test on it...Which I got a 100 on! I also finished my 8 hour on-line Hague Training this weekend. It was supposed to be 8 hours, but it was more like 12 hours! Waiting on those videos to load was very frustrating. I now have more information about international adoption and more questions. The training has forced me to think about things I may not have considered, as well as explained things that I was unsure about.
I had to write a 2-3 page autobiography about myself and it is SIX pages. They wanted information about each of my siblings... and there are a lot of us!! I also am in the process of answering questionnaires about my decision to adopt, how I view birth parents, what I plan on telling my child about adoption, etc. Some of the answers to the questions may change over time, but I am answering them how I feel right now.
I received the certified copies of Mom's & my birth certificates this past week. I also finally filed my taxes. I am having much of the work finished on my house, so I can be fully prepared for my child. The deck is being redone, since it was practically falling apart and there was no railing. I am having it extended with a new 10' x 15' section and real stairs added! I am also having my bedroom and office flooring installed, the kitchen back splash installed and a closet changed into a built in TV unit.
More to come soon...
