We have always dreamed of having children and we are currently in the adoption process. We are currently singed up with Angel Adoption in Cary IL on September 13th 2010. We chose to adopt a new born baby within the United States.
Home Study
We have started our home study- this is process that is required by law to complete before adopting a child. The Social Worker that is assigned to you interviews you 4 times and tours your home. So far we have completed 3 of the interviews and the 4th one is scheduled for this Tuesday.
We are also required to attend 10 hours of training- we have completed 8 hours and we have our last 2 hours scheduled this Thursday. The training sessions are wonderful we sit with other adoptive parents and each week they have different people on the panel. The first week they had adults and children that have been adopted and they shared their stories with us. The 2nd week we had a panel of birth mother's that gave their children up for adoption and this week we will have parents that have adopted. I love to hear this process from every perspective.
We also had to have our finger prints taken and a background check done. We both had to go to the Doctor to have all our our medical history released.
The last thing on our list to complete for the home study is the CPR certification that is scheduled for November 11th 2010.
