Details, Details...

So, ever since I posted everyone seems to want more info, particularly the when of it all :) We are new to this whole process but I will do my best to lay out a timeline the best as I can with the information that I have.

• Attend Project 127's Orientation (Did this last week)
• Fill out a spiritual questionnaire and have a Spiritual Interview with one of our pastors
• Get CPR/First Aid certified
• Fill out A LOT of paper work
• Go to our local police department and get fingerprinted
• Attend two weekends full of trainings (March 4/5 and 18/19)
• Hand in ALL of our paperwork and certifications to Project 127 for them to process and put into a file (takes about a week)
• Choose a county/agency we want to work with
• Submit our file to them and they will start our background check (which can take a couple months to get back)
• After they get our background checks back, we will begin our homestudy which takes about a month, but we cannot complete until we are in our new house which we hope to be in by July
• Time passes... (hopefully not more than a month)
• Get a call and talk with caseworkers about a certain child
• We decide to move forward and transition the child into our home
• After 6 months we can petition for legal adoption
• We get a court date and become a family!
• HUGE Party at our new house to celebrate our new family!
