A year ago today...

A year ago today, we received our travel date to Ukraine to meet with the SDA, and find out who they had "waiting" for us to adopt... crazy how quickly time passes. I remember waiting to hear if our dossier (the TONS of paperwork we had to complete) was accepted, and receiving the travel date, just meant that we were approved... wow. A year ago. wow.

Instead of piling together a HUGE amount of paperwork like I did over a year ago, the one thing we have to keep up with, are post adoption reports. Many countries have different regulations/requirements... but in Ukraine, they want 1 a year, for the first 3 years, and then 1 every 3 years, until Charlotte is 18. I'm pretty sure we can manage that...we have to use a social worker to write up a report... and the other part, is on me to complete.... boy is it tough limiting a photographer to keep it close to 10 photos... I think I ended up sending 20!

  2. I believe that will be the most creative post-adoption report that Ukraine has EVER gotten!! :)

  3. Nice! Why does a social worker have to complete the report? Maybe because of you living overseas? It's not required for us here in Arizona or any other state, as far as I know. I always just fill out the form myself. No notary or anythign required.
