Wanted to post the details of yesterday now that I am more awake:-)
The PA form, that my homestudy agency twice gave me incorrect directions for, is a giant pain in the you know what!!! It includes every address where I have ever lived (going back to 1975, three years before I was born!) and EVERY PERSON I HAVE EVER LIVED WITH ANYWHERE.
Um yeah...I lived with my family, then a variety of roommates in college, then a whole lot of roommates after college (in three different states) and then now I live with my husband. Oh, and the PA form wants the names--first, middle, and last, as well as their exact age.
Right...I didn't know my roommates middle names and ages when I lived with them, 10 years ago! Why on earth would I know them now, plus I have no contact information for them...I don't even remember one of my roomates LAST names:-(
So, my amended form has first and last and approximate ages for all of roommates except for 1. I have no idea regarding her middle or last name, my other roommate from that time has no idea either, and after two straight days of cyber stalking I have found nothing...nada...not one thing. So yep, my revised PA form includes the line item "Ashley, Last Name-???, approximate age 39" with a footnote about how this is the last paper we need for our adoption and how I have no way of finding her to discover her exact age or middle and last names. Please pray that they will accept my form (it has pretty much complete info for my other 20 or so roommates...)
According to our homestudy agency the MA form was re-faxed today. I am calling Monday to verify that it is all set, and I'll continue to call every three days until it's done!
I'll save the rest of the updates for tomorrow's Friday update.
Also, on Monday, stay tuned for "The 12 Days of Christmas" 12 unique ideas for awesome Christmas gifts that will benefit children in Ethiopia and families who are adopting:-)
