Good news, everyone (keep your fingers crossed)!
We successfully completed our Background Checks and had them notarized today! Yay! So, barring any unusual comments from the adoption agency, we can close that chapter of our adoption story at this point and hopefully never have to return to the Metro Nashville Police Department. It took us a record 40 minutes today and no real drama. The only drama was a lady that fell off a desk while we were waiting. Philip helped her pick up the desk and the papers that went everywhere. Oh my... What we ended up having to do was to hire a notary to go with us to the police department. She witnessed the guy sign that we do not have records and that our background checks were clear. We also had the traveling notary go to Philip's doctor's office to witness his signature on a letter that states that Philip is healthy enough to be a father. We are very close to getting everything finished now! The only things left are for us to finish our DVD training and attend an Infant Care Class at a local hospital.
Speaking of the DVD Training, we have a set of 4 DVD's that we have to watch, take notes on, and then take tests on. In the end, if we score over 80% individually, we will receive a certificate and can then send in our paperwork. These DVD's are interesting, but very long and taxing on the brain. The 1st DVD was about Brain Development and Sensory Experiences. I'm not sure what the 2nd DVD is about, but we will soon find out. We each scored 100% on the first test!! :) The next Infant Care Class that I can find is on August 14th, so our goal is to have our paperwork mailed on August 15th. We'll keep you posted!
Thanks for your interest and for reading. Have a great week!
