Our Life Story...

What an interesting past few weeks it has been. Russ and I have been consumed with filling out our adoption paperwork and getting everything we need done in order to move on to the next step in the process. We have had to fill out about 100 pages of questionnaires, dealing with every aspect of our lives you can imagine. I will share just a few questions with you that we have had to answer:

  • What was your childhood like?
  • What were your pre-teen years like?
  • What were your teenage years like?
  • Describe your relationship with your parents as a child, and now as an adult.
  • Describe your relationship with your siblings as a child, and now as an adult.
  • What role does each person play in your family relationship?
  • Please give us a physical description and layout of your home, including sleeping arrangements.
Wow. So I will never be pregnant. I will never feel a baby kick my insides. I will never have cravings for pickles and ice cream. I will never have morning sickness. However, I am definitely what they call "paper pregnant". I am sick of filling out paperwork, question after question and signing my life away. This is definitely worse than buying a house. That was the most paperwork we've ever had to fill out for an event. Until now.

On top of that, we FINALLY got our Georgia driver's licenses last week! Most of our records and tests that we have needed to get done are finished. Our goal is to have the last bit of paperwork ready by Monday so we can turn it in and move closer towards getting our child.
