We signed on for a #2


Today Bob and I made the trip up to Pleasant Hill to sign on with our agency for adoption #2. Its been a long time coming, and we're very excited to get started again.

The second adoption should be much easier than the first. It certainly feels less stressful--I'm familiar with the homestudy process and its not nearly as intimidating the 2nd time around. Its still going to be a lot of work--fingerprints for Bob and me, physicals, four letters of recommendation, etc. But, less work than the first time.

IAC has also made some changes that will make it easier. They have design templates for both the website and the "Dear Birthmother" letter, for example, so you don't have to create them from scratch.

As for the picture choice for this blog post. Bob and I were in the reception area when we noticed a picture of Anthony on the bulletin board. Looking closer we realized that there were tons of pictures of Anthony and his pals that Bob took at the IAC picnic that first year. We were so proud!
