This is the most tedious part of the process. Here are links to posts that will help you as you work toward that referral. Under paperwork you will find two posts. One for the paperwork links now and one for when you get home. I put them both here because you should be aware of the paperwork at the other end of the process as well. If you have not yet selected an agency, I put the link to my post on that too. There are more in Deciding to Adopt. If you plug away at it hard enough you can get it all done fast. You may be a bit crazy after that, but it will be fast. Have fun!
