I have been spending my time after work either exercising or working on paperwork. With the switch to a new agency, there has been some additional paperwork to do. Each agency has their own forms and procedures based on what the adoptive country requires. This has been a little frustrating for me since I had hoped that part was behind us. Every time I think we are moving forward to a new part of the journey, it seems we have to back track and start over. But I am relying on God's timing and am trying to take this one day at a time.
So one of the things Kevin and I did this week was go down to City Hall and get fingerprinted. We have never been fingerprinted before so that was a new experience. We then sent our fingerprints off to the FBI and they will send us an "all clear" letter to prove that we are not criminals! We also had to get more copies of our birth certificates and new medical forms. St Mary's Adoptions has been very helpful and willing to keep in touch and answer any questions that we have. They are currently working to get our home study ready to be scheduled.
Our new T-shirt store is up and running! We removed the Russian t-shirts and replaced them with different colors of the other t-shirts. Adoption Bug doesn't have shirts for Poland yet. You can visit our new store here.
We are also selling delicious coffee products at Just Love Coffee.
If you are thinking about adopting or know someone who is, here are some resources online that can help with the process and with funding:
