Thanks for all the replies!
We will definitely get our fingerprints done - I called the HS agency and we do need them. One more quick question - do we just tell the fingerprint people that we need them for adoption? Will they keep the fingerprints on file until the HS agency asks for them, or will we have to bring the agency's mailing info to the appt?
Thanks again!
Edited to add - Oops, just saw the last two messages! That's what I was wondering about... guess I'll have to ask the fingerprint lady. We live in a rural town where the fingerprinting lady only comes to visit at the Dept of Health and Welfare every Friday. The DHW people didn't know anything about it.
