A few days ago we recieved the first packet of paperwork from Holt International that will need to be completed prior to our homestudy. The forms include the following:
- authorization for background checks
- forms for our physicians to sign confirming we are healthy enough to be parents. this includes a physical, HIV, and TB test
- addresses from the last 5 years
- verification of employment form for Craig
- a big old "Personal Data Information Sheet" for each of us that actually starts the process of our home study. We should expect to have completed our home study by 8 weeks from now. This form is the one that asks questions ranging from what our family was like growing up to why we want to adopt to how will we include a different culture in our family. All great questions and hmmm...it will take us some to finish this one!
- financial data sheet. basically they want to look at how you spend your money so if you have a budget in place this one is pretty easy.
- we need to start getting some forms together like certified birth certificates and marraige license.
