Questionnaires

Holy, moly! I don't think I've EVER written so much in 24 hours and I'm only done with the first set. There are 3 sets in all that need to be completed before committee.

So far, I have completed the Adopting a Child of Color. This form is specifically for families who are adopting children outside of their race. One of the questions is: How will you keep your child in touch with her cultural heritage? That's an easy one, but it still took 3 good paragraphs. The other two forms are the Child Specific Forms (that one has 20 questions) and the last one is Child Behaviors Worksheet. It'll probably take me the rest of this week (and maybe the next) to complete these.

Once our forms are in, we will have our phone interviews. After our phone interviews are done and our answers to these questionnaires are reviewed, the committee will meet to choose a family for this child.

So far, we know that 5 requested the file and as of 5/5: 3 families have decided to proceed and one family has declined. We are still waiting to hear from the last family to either proceed or decline. So, potentially we would be going to committee with 3 other families who also want her just as much as we do.

That catches you up on where we are and what we can expect next. Keep praying mighty prayer warriors! ~Paula
