It’s been a busy week. We had our first home study appointment on Wednesday and came home with a HUGE folder of more paper to fill out. I am currently working on writing a biography of my life (Matt and I each fill one out.) It’s hard to not get lost in all this paper. We were down at the police station for fingerprinting (FBI and State background checks.) We’ve signed up as foster parents for the state of Colorado. According to US law, we are considered foster parents of our daughter until she’s been in our home for 6 months. Then she is officially a US citizen! We are working on health reports (everyone in our family gets to undergo a physical, bloodwork, etc), copies of our insurance and finances…everything is exposed…I don’t think there is one area that does not go unchecked!
I was born in Jos, Nigeria many years ago. I spent the next nineteen years living in Liberia, Kenya and Ethiopia.
Hi Melodie, I remember being so overwhelmed when I got that folder…its a lot to take in and is quite emotional. Can’t wait to hear how everything else is going.
