Here's a few highlights of our adoption process.
We started working on all this while living in Frederick, Maryland. After several months we finally finished our homestudy and were just about done with all of our US Gov't requirements when Mike got transferred to TX and we had to move to Beaumont.
After moving we ended up having to redo lots of paperwork, the gov't "lost" us and denied our adoption request, and we had the pleasure of paying for several things again. I strongly advise you not to change states in the middle of an adoption! Then we switched adoption countries, because we like to punish ourselves.
Actually Gladney advised us to change from Colombia to Mexico. Colombia's placement timeline was so slow that we could have waited YEARS before getting our referral. Mexico was supposed to be quicker, so we switched. Of course now Mexico has slowed down but, as our caseworker reminds us, we are no. 3 on the list! So cross your fingers, pick a daisy, or pray for our little family.
