Adoption timeline

Paul and I decided to pursue a county adoption in July of 2006. Here's what's happened since then:

Fall '06 - completed PRIDE training (7), submitted application, received our letters of recommendation (thanks!), were fingerprinted the 1st time (for adoption system), got medical exams, started meeting with Social Worker.

Spring '07 - completed Bridgebuilders classes (9), completed Social Worker interviews, fingerprinted 2nd time (for Foster system).

April 20, 2007 -- a key date - we are final and on the county's "Waiting Families" list

July 6, 2007 - heard from our Social worker that families who went on the list in January were getting their matches! So it looks like we might be about 3 months out? It all depends on the unpredictable nature of how kids come into the system and how they match up with the families on the list.
