tips for organizing post adoption paperwork

Forum Friends,
I would love your ideas and tips on how you have organized ALL the post adoption paperwork.

I am thinking about using a binder with clear plastic sheets. Right now it's all in a box!

Help please,
TLC

I have to be honest, I have a rubbermaid box that all mine is currently filed in....my thought process was that in an emergency evacuation I can grab it and go! I really did this when it was during the process as I had this horrible fear of losing everything during a hurricane.

When I get a chance I will probably make a folder and put it in my filing cabinet.

Regards,
Brandy

I have a multiple section folder where all the pre-adoption stuff is filed neatly. However, the post adoption paperwork is in the folder that the agency gave me. I have more now to add to it COC, SSN... etc. Which is just laying inside the folder. Got to get my act together with the post paperwork. ( bumping for more ideas)

I do think I will add it to the fire box ( for safe keeping)

Oh, so it probably shouldn't be strewn all over one's desk?

Very unhappy with my agency due to lack of communication, long process, contract restrictions, and many other reasons. Ask me if you'd like to avoid them.

Sooo funny Mary2005! Mine is thrown in a crate right now, but my plan is to put in a binder with clear plastic sheets.

It's not terribly well organized but all in one file inside our fireproof lockbox.
