We hit hitch number one today. Our social worker called to say that she has found out Russia may have a problem with the mental health aspects of our medical assessments. We both have battled depression but I will always be on medications and my psychiatrist noted as such. She also noted there was nothing leading her to believe that I couldn't parent a kid. In the long run I don't think this will really stop our adoption but it was my biggest concern that my mental health history would be a hindrance. It looks like CHOC will decide if we need more medical forms filled out once they have reviewed our dossier. GAH! just another hiccup that i caused...
I got the money order today though... tomorrow we mail out the package once we write a cover letter to ask that they pay attention to the mental health issues and get us the forms that need to be filled out. Our social worker did say we could open the packcage. I have our approval letter!!!! It is clearly just for us and not something we need to forward to CHOC. Is it weird I want to frame it?
I don't think it weird at all and think you should frame it as you should any documentation of a great event.
ReplyDeleteThat'd be awesome if the letter just read 'as young as possible, up to 30 years' hahaha you could have a Will Ferrel baby. Ew
