P.S. As some of you may have seen on FB/Twitter/IG last week, we mailed in our application last Friday! This is the first step in the adoption process: applying to our agency. From there they will do background checks on us and then set us up with a social worker who will do our home study, which is required before we can apply for grants and/or be matched with a birth mom and baby. So we’re SUPER excited to be starting the paperwork process!! More details to come!
