Profiles

I have big news to report on the adoption track: Last night we received our profile paperwork! The paperwork is tailored to each family, so it has a list of supporting documents (birth certificates, marriage license, etc.) that you need to supply plus scads of other forms. That’s all good with me, though, because: 1) I’m good at paperwork; and 2) WE’RE FINALLY GETTING SOMEWHERE! Everyone knows that adoptive parents have to fill out eleventy billion forms; that’s a given. And now we’re getting to do it, too! And check it out--one of the forms says this:

Personal Profile (To be completed by the prospective foster mother or adoptive mother.)

Did you catch that? They’re calling me a prospective adoptive mother! That validation alone is worth the time it’ll take to complete our stacks.
