Fingerprinted!

Today Robin and I went down to the State Building to get fingerprinted for our background checks for our homestudy.

Application Approved by CCAI

Notified by CCAI that our application was approved on 5/16/11.  We downloaded the service agreements, signed, wrote additional checks, and mailed back to CCAI on 5/17/11.  On 5/20/11, notified that CCAI received our service agreements and now we are able to log into "family" part of their web site.  A lot of good information on their site.  We downloaded their guides for completing our dossier and homestudy. Looks like our homestudy is just a small part of the big picture.  No wonder it takes 5 to 6 months to complete our dossier for shipment to China.  Looks like it will be a busy summer!

Homestudy Packet from CASI

We received our homestudy packet in the mail today from CASI.  Oh My!  This may take some time to complete.  Numerous forms to complete, police background checks, physicals, bloodwork. etc...  We'll have to work through this over the next few weeks.  Robin is deep into end of school, so we'll have to wait for a lot of this till schools over.

Medical Condition Checklist Approved!

Received an email from CCAI that they reviewed and approved our Medical Conditions Checklist.  It is now on file.  We could be matched anytime, but most likely not till we get our paperwork done and logged in China (LID).

We Hear from CCAI

Received an email from CCAI today.  They received our application and Medical Conditions Checklist.

We Hear from CASI

Talked to CASI today about our application.  Answered a few questions.  They will review our application and send paperwork to complete for our homestudy along with a service agreement.  Can hardly wait - more paperwork to fill out!  But things are moving......

Application Completed !!!!

Just finished completing the applications for CCAI and CASI.  We also had to fill out a Medical Conditions Checklist for CCAI.  We were careful on what we picked - nothing to difficult.  Bought some large envelopes at Staples to mail the applications to Boise and Colorado.  Loaded the applications in the envelops and fees and went to the UPS store to mail.  The "Paper Chase" has begun!!!!!!!!!!
