Yeah! We officially sent our dossier to Children's Home Society today. They will take 2-3 business days to review it and let us know if we need to add or correct any forms. Once the dossier gets approval from CHS, we are officially on the waiting list. It was just sooooo nice to mail off all of that paperwork today! Celebrate with us!
It was a crazy week putting together all of our paperwork and going back to work at school, but we made it.
Our dossier included:
*4 Power of Attorney forms (since the adoption is actually complete in Ethiopia before we travel)
* Tax information summary form from the last 4 years
* Letter to Ministry of Women's Affairs - explaining why we want to adoption from their country
* 2 Passport photos of each of us
* Official copies of our birth certificates
* Official copy of our marriage certificates
* 2 Letters of recommendation from our friends (notarized)
* Statements of Criminal record from our Local Police Department
* Medical Certificate for each of us from our physicians
* Employment verification letters from our employers
* Income Tax 1040 form from last year's taxes
* Family Profile Summary - Jobs, Income, Religion, members of family
*Bank account verification letter
* Contract to send photos and update to Ethiopia every year
*Contracts with the Ethiopian government and Referral Disclaimer
* Check for help of the Ethiopian Adoption Fee
