Well we took our first step . We took the 2 hour drive (each way) to meet with the social worker. We handed inthe application and application fee. We spent about 2 hours in a meeting with a few other families reviewing all the documents needed for homestudy. They gave us a 1" binder full of documents. Maryland is very strict with the process. You follow the same process as a daycare provider or foster family (Plus more).
It is very overwhelming. Sometimes I wonder if I am insane for choosing this path. If I was not so sure this is something we were meant to do, I might turn around and run like crazy. Nobody should ever doubt the dedication and of an adoptive parent. There is nothing easy about this whole process.
I scheduled appointments this morning and filled out paperwork all day( And I don't feel like I am much closer to getting anything done)
-Scheduled girls physicals for Medical Form( Can not see then until early November,Hope this does not hold up our Home study
-Fire Marshall inspection next week
- Cat and Dog go to Vet in morning to get Booster Vaccines (Oh MY, Process has even affected the animals)
-Hopefully going to pikesville tomorrow to get first set of fingerprints done
- Need to renew license and pull MVA records tomorrow(I know mine is clean!!HINT, HINT Husband)
The journey has begun!!
