Can someone tell me.. when you do a second adoption, do you get a whole new homestudy or an update of the old one? It seems silly to write new autobiographies and such when we could just update the old ones..?
For those who are wonderring.. it looks like we are up in the air right now between China and domestic, so we've ALMOST figured it out

You will need to do a whole new homestudy...not just an update. However, we used the same social worker so what we were able to do was take the first one and augment it with info about how our life as a family of 4 now is and info about Emily, etc...It wasn't too hard to update it that way. But our SW also asked new questions as well as reviewed the other pertinent info that would still apply.
HTH!
Btw, CHINA?!!! YAHOO!!! GO FOR IT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
