I was so excited when ours came. We too are adopting from Poland through St. Mary's. This will be our 2nd adoption but our first from Poland. We have completed our last homestudy meeting and are waiting on the homestudy to be finalized. I started a spreadsheet on the computer where I am keeping track of everything for the adoption. I am listing every document we receive, mail, when we make payments, etc.Heidihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12951689792825202931noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3107279140756537614.post-17981216039214910342010-05-21T18:20:27.962-07:002010-05-21T18:20:27.962-07:00The beginning is so exciting!!

For all the $$ we used a spreadsheet for everything...every piece of mail, FedEx, copies, checks, etc. I like to be organized, but I don't always meet my own expectations :-)<br /><br />We were open to a single child at first, and as we waited we decided we were also open to siblings. Turns out, after 11 months of waiting we got matched with the perfect little boy for our family!kellyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11052581182229928605noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3107279140756537614.post-8506985356351325322010-05-21T16:17:49.693-07:002010-05-21T16:17:49.693-07:00We applied for 1 or 2 children of either gender.

We just waited for our referral and he just happened to be a perfect BOY!<br /><br />For keeping track, our agency provided us with a step by step list. I believe that St. Mary's has one on their web site. We used Lutheran Service Society of New York.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3107279140756537614.post-8910903935711290562010-05-21T15:15:09.874-07:002010-05-21T15:15:09.874-07:00This comment has been removed by the author.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
