We have to send photos of our home with the adoption paperwork and I realized that most of you have not seen our house. So, here are some of the photos.

Today we went to the adoption agency and turned in most of the paperwork. We still need to write a letter of intent which states the age and gender of child that we want and that we promise not to abuse or abandon the child and we are still waiting on Jake's birth certificate.
We also received some paperwork that we need to fill out for our home study person. Once we send it back to him then we can set up a time for him to come to our house and make sure it is adequate for raising a child and that we are not crazy.
It is amazing how many times we have to do the same things over and over again. An example: We went to the King County Sherrifs Office to get a police clearance, which means they did a background check. The home study person does a background check on us through DSHS. And we have to get fingerprinted and the FBI does a background check on us once our paperwork gets through INS. But, both Jake and I have already had background checks done. I have to have one because of my job and Jake has had one through the Army.
Oh well.
I will try to up date this blog when something new happens.

Here we go!
Well, we have started the adoption process.
We have decided to adopt a girl from Viet Nam. So, we have been filling out paperwork, figuring out where to get certified copies of documents and scheduling appointments. We are trying to get as much paperwork done as possible by next Friday and turn it in to our adoption agency. A couple of the documents need to be sent to the federal government and processed before we can move on to the next steps.
Next week we will also be starting the Home Study and hopefully get our police clearance.
