The 'paper-chase' is on!! This means we are starting the process of gathering all the necessary paperwork (and there's A LOT of it). So, now we are officially in the thick of things!
We had our phone orientation with Gladney, and they emailed me the formal application yesterday. Oh. My.God!! The application itself is 9 pages, and then we need to submit two groups of paperwork. The first group consists of 22 pages of stuff, such as marriage and birth certificates, passport photocopies, financial information, child profile, risk agreements...just to name a few. and the second group includes many forms that will need to be filled out by other people and notarized. It's amazing the stuff we need JUST for the application! Once we are approved through the adoption agency, we will need to start our homestudy.
We also will need to compile our foreign dossier, which is a package of paperwork that will go to Honduras and be reviewed down there. I will describe this more in detail once we get to that point in the process.
