We have been trying for over a week to get the Schmoops medical form for our homestudy and we finally got it today. That is the last document we need for the homestudy portion of our adoption. Our social worker will now write the official report and submit it to our agency for review. Once it is approved we will send it to the USCIS as part of our I600a application. We will then get a letter from the USCIS with an appoinment date to have our fingerprints taken for our FBI background check. The only thing hard about the adoption process (so far) is waiting for other people to complete their part of the process. Tomorrow I will post an “Adoption 101″ process that I found on another blog that helps explain the different stages of the paperwork and processing we are going through.
On a different note, we had to get our Pomeranian, Lily, spayed today. She is 11 years old and was having all sorts of “girl” problems. The vet said it was a difficult surgery because all of her reproductive organs were so enlarged and she also had a hard time coming out of the anesthesia. She is the sweetest, happiest, most patient and loving dog I have ever had and to see (and hear) her in pain is heartbreaking. I just gave her a pain pill so I hope she sleeps for awhile. She just can’t seem to get comfortable. I think it may be a long night for both of us.
