Any advice would be helpful. Really, anything.
We're just now getting the process started. We chose to adopt through the state (DHS in Oregon), but couldn't use our local caseworker because of a conflict (I work for what they call a "partner agency"). So they contracted with a private agency for us. So far, we've gotten all the paperwork ready for the homestudy and have sent out all the reference outlines to our references. We attend the weekend training weekend after next.
I've read a couple of books and understand that I need to be aware of my expectations and be prepared for anything and everything. Any other advice that anyone can think of for someone just starting out would be much appreciated. Thanks in advance!
