We haven't decided on an adoption agency just yet, but in the mean time I thought we could begin working on our file to present to the adoption agency for the birthmothers.
Would you ladies mind sharing the format in which your file was laid out? Do you make a scrapbook or does the agency give you something to fill out?
Please give me any ideas, things I should include, etc.
I'm really getting into it now!!! It may be a little premature to work on the book now, but I need something to keep me busy.
Thanks, Adrienne

I know the feeling of wanting (and needing) to keep busy! Unfortunately I can't help you out in this area since we don't do a birthmother letter or anything of that nature for China. Closest thing I guess you could say I had to do was an autobiography.
I just wanted to say have fun! I think the prep work, though tedious at times, can help the time pass quicker!

I didn't even have to do an autobiography like Lisa did even though we're using the same agency (different HS agency though, that's what made the difference)...we had to answer 9 questions and that's it!
I would definately start out by writing an autobiography and getting some pics together of you, your house, family, neighborhood, etc.
I'm finding a bunch of different things to keep me busy I'd have to, I'd be crazy by now if I didn't!
Good Luck!
