Home Study is FINALIZED and OFFICIAL!



March 8, 2013

Can I get an AMEN?!

Our home study is complete…finalized…and official! It landed on our doorstop this evening! It has also made its rounds to DSS and should have arrived at Immigration this afternoon too!!

This is a huge milestone! There is so much thanks to give so many people who helped pull it together! THANK YOU…Mom, Carolyn, Jessica, Laura, Doug, Amedisys Family: Dawn, Rachael, Carol; Lowes Family: Dale, Jennifer; and Dr. Dawson! And of course, thank you to Levacy, our social worker – who conducted our interviews and wrote the 15 page thing!

On my recent trip to Guatemala, when I told one of the team members we were adopting (who has also adopted a baby), her response was… “CONGRATS, You’re Paper Pregnant!” I have more paperwork and documents than I can count, and honestly I don’t know how I’m actually keeping up with all of it! I wish I could say the paper chase is done…but now onto the dossier!

What is means to be paper pregnant!


So, here is what all the fuss, time, and paper trail turns into....
one 15 page official, notarized home study!
