3rd and Final Home Study Complete

We had our final home study visit last Thursday.  All went well and our SW will start writing it it up now.  There are still a few pieces of information she needs and then she will send it to CAS for review.  Once CAS reviews the home study report and we approve it, it will go to CIS and get matched up with our I-600a so we can get a pre-approval to adopt a child from another country.  We will have another finger print appointment with the CIS.  

Our next step is waiting for our fee arrangement to come from CAS and for us to agree to them ad then we will be sent another packet of information called our 'Korea Packet'  We will be required to gather more information that will be sent to Korea once complete and sent up to FAC in CT.  We are currently in line to have our paperwork sent over once complete but we just don't know right now what our number is.  Packets from FAC are sent to Korea once a month.  I imagine we'll be able to find out once we send back our information the approximate date our packet will be sent over.  Our agency did tell us that FAC will not hold back our packet if a couple above us is not ready yet, which is good news.  After the packet goes over, the wait begins.

So far things have been going rather quickly, I think the hardest part will be waiting for the referal to come in after our packet goes to Korea.   We will have to find things to keep us busy durning that time.  

We have also started our required 30 credits of education.  Once class we are taking on our own which is worth 3 credits and the second class we just completed was given online by CAS.  Of course we don't get credit for the class until we turn in our homework,  but we'll get that done soon.

Thats it for now
