Intake Interview

Well, we passed! We meet the requirements for the state and LDS Family Services to adopt. Now the real work begins on the process.

We have a questionnaire to fill out and return about ourselves. Then we'll be able to have our home study done. We are going to be going to the adoption classes next Friday and Saturday. Both days are all day workshop type things and they are up in Layton. It starts at 9am, which means, we'll have to be leaving here pretty early. Gotta find someone willing to watch our boys all day long for those two days. I thought we would have to wait until the classes in August, but they are allowing us to get in to the ones next week.

I now really understand why I felt such a strong impression that we needed to get our application turned in soon last month. Apparently, LDS Family Services will be changing the fee structure within the next month or so. We are getting in under the old fees which are much less than the new fees will be. I don't think we would have been able to afford to adopt if the fees had already changed. I'm so grateful for the prompting and that I listened to it.

We also have a lovely background check to get done and have to get certified copies of our birth certificate and marriage certificate. Then we all have to get a physical and have our doctors fill in a form.
