The Home Study History is back in the mail

We finally finished our first set of paperwork.  We wrote our autobiography's, signed, signed, and signed our names again and again.  We got our first set of finger prints done, that was so simple it is all computerized now and so there were no messy fingers after we were done.  We also filled out another application with Family & Children Agency based in Norwalk, CT so we can get a place in line so to speak.  FCA partners with CAS and the Social Welfare Society in Korea to help place children in the US.  FCA has placed over 2,000 children around the country since 1982.   

We also applied to the Government a I-600a form which is a pre-application to adopt a international orphan.  This will help speed up the paperwork next year after we receive our referral.

I think the next step will be starting our home study, which will include meeting with a social worker at least 4 times.  3 times we will meet her and 1 time she will come to our house.  CAS will also start running all of our background checks. 

That's it for now............until next time
