We had our home visit yesterday for our home study. Deb from Special Children, Inc. is an incredibly friendly and encouraging woman. We had a very nice visit plus Deb gave us much needed guidance and direction for preparing the dossier paperwork.
We need forms filled out by our doctors for the dossier. However the difficult thing is the forms need to be notarized. Most of our doctors’ offices do not have a notaries. This means we will have to bring a notary to the offices and then request the various doctors to sign the forms in the presence of a notary. Things are further complicated because we have doctors in Sheboygan, Plymouth, and West Bend. I confess to you this seems like a logistical nightmare! I don’t know how I am going to coordinate all this much less get the cooperation of the doctors. Not knowing there were specific forms for the dossier, I had already had some of our doctors fill out the medical form provided by Special Children Inc. so now I have to go back and ask them to redo.
During my quiet time this morning, I prayed to God for a miracle in helping these forms get completed correctly. I am not a very assertive person, and I think I will have to be a bit demanding to get everyone on the same page for this task. I definitely will need God’s wisdom and timing to make this work.
Someday I will laugh (right?…) when I think how the success of this adoption could hinge on us completing all the paperwork correctly!
