More paperwork and Final Acceptance
July 09, 2008
We are on the final lap of bringing home our Son, Julian. Today we received a whole bunch of paperwork that is associated with the official acceptance of the referral. Some government forms and legal documents. We are more than happy to fill out whatever makes this process move along. After the amount of paperwork that we have already done, this seems so small. All the forms need to be filled out in quadruplicate. More scanning of the completed forms to PDF documents, so that we can email the results to our social worker for her approval. Then try to complete the rest of the copies in time to be sent out to Korea on Friday. That’s when the official countdown to Julian coming home can start.
In the paperwork was a piece of paper that stated what we can do in the meantime. They suggest that we send some close-up pictures of Mommy and Daddy to the foster family so that Julian can see pictures of us. It apparently helps in recognition, basically so that he may become familiar with our faces before he comes. We can also send over a disposable camera, so that the foster family can document the progress of Julian over the months that he waits to come home. A very cool idea. One that Jo-Ann and I are very excited about. We currently only have pictures of him at 4 months old.
