Meeting

Hi!
We had another meeting with Sarah yesterday.  We gave her our signed contract and the 1st half of our adoption fee.  Sarah gave us a binder that included:  forms we need to sign, information about their Facebook page, information about their counseling and support program, a checklist of items to be completed for our next meetings, recommendations on how to write our birthmother letter and some sample birthmother letters.  The forms that we have to complete are:
* Employment verification
* Confirmation of personal knowledge (if other children, previous marriages, health conditions, etc.)
* Liability release of the Adoption Center
* Release of promotional material
* Preference form (in regard to a child)
* Adoptive parents information (financial, SS#, DL#, etc)

We will begin writing our birthmother letter right away.  Once we complete the draft, we'll email it to Sarah and she'll make change recommendations.  Then we'll go back and forth until it's completed and ready for birthmothers' eyes.  We also have to take a handful of pictures for Sarah to choose for the letter.

Once the birthmother letter is finalizes, our pictures are in-hand and our forms are signed, then Sarah will come to our house for the next meeting. 

I'll post again soon.

Love,
Brenda
