Today has been a super day! We have been impatiently waiting for April 1st to find out where we were on the registration hold list. We assumed our registration wouldn't be considered until May.
We were a bit worried about our registration for two reasons:
1. Our age--They had a minimum age requirement of 25 and we are both under 25
2. Fertility Treatments- We had to disclose that we were going through fertility treatments and we were worried that would be looked at badly.
We did talk to the social worker that was there when we turned in our registration and she stated that exceptions are made based off of income, stability, maturity, etc. We were praying they would look past our age.
Well GUESS WHAT!! They made the exception and today they ACCEPTED us into the Domestic Infant Adoption Program!!!! We just received the application, and let's say we have a lot of work ahead of us, which in the end will be so worth it that we will forget all about it! :)
Next Steps:
1. Complete the Application Checklist (I'll give us 2 weeks) Includes: Income Check, Background Check, Physical, Medical records, reference letters, documents (birth cert, marriage cert etc), photographs! ( I already have half of this completed haha!)
2. Hand in Application
3. Complete the Education Seminars
4. Complete the Home Study
5. Enter Family Profile Book
6. Wait for the perfect mother to find us!
This becomes more real every day! :)
What is meant to be will be!:)
We can not wait for the day we bring our child home<33
for he or she will be blessed with double the love
