Home Study Application/References

We have chosen to go with Nathanson Adoption Services for our Home Study. http://www.nathansonadopt.com/
Our application is complete except for finding out our IRA values and how much life insurance Tony has on himself at work. We should be able to mail this out tomorrow, but if not, then definitely by Friday.

We don't have all the documents needed for the social worker that comes out but we're working on this. We are required to have three references. We've already chosen three - two confirmed at this time. It had to be someone that knew both Tony and myself and could not be family. We chose Mary and Lee Griffith since they have been great friends to us since we joined our church, Love's UMC. Mary knows how much we want more children. She was with me through many of the infertilty struggles and loosing our precious daughter. We also have chosen Mary's sister, Jane Wells, who has also been a great friend to us. Jane was my Parent Educator after I had Logan until she changed jobs and we've been friends since. We chose Jane since she has witnessed our parenting beliefs and knows also how much we want more children and our battle with infertily and losses. There are other reasons why we've chosen these two families but I can't list them all. They know how much they mean to us. :) I think their family has even "adopted" us into their family.
