Not all the paperwork :(

So after sending in all the paperwork I thought was needed. I found out I needed to read 2 books on adoption and complete questions on them and to attend a child care class. So I read the 2 boooks and sent off the questions on Monday. One of the books " Raising Adopted Children by Lois Melina was quite good. But I did have to say I felt like I was back in highschool doing a book report :) As for the child care class, that gave me pause for a bit. I have decided the best option in my small rural town is to take prenatal classes! So i am signed up to attend the class on Feb 15th dealing with the care of a newborn. After explaining to the public health nurse, I was told I could leave half way through as the last half of the class is on breathing during labour! This is a late prenatal class, so i expect I will feel a bit wierd being in a class with woman that are very obviously pregnant. They are certainly going to wonder why I'm there! But after that I should be done everything :) again!

All Documents submitted

I'm thrilled all the paperwork is done!!! YAH!! I mailed off the approved birthparent letters and fast track letters on Dec 30th. I got an email confirming that all the documents were received by the Adoption Centre of BC in Kelowna and will be mailed off to Utah, by the end of the week! So I went to the bank today for a bank draft and have paid the processing and file activation fee! So as soon as all the documents are reviewed in Utah, then I'll be officially on the waitlist!!! Which is just about when I had predicted (being on the waitlist by the beginning of January) and wanted. Today is a good day!
