You and your spouse have been dreaming to have a child for so long and have finally decided to adopt one. Your excitement over the prospect is extremely high but after a quick consultation with a lawyer, you find out it is not as easy as you think.
The process can be time-consuming and will require a trail of paperwork that you need to accomplish and prepare.
Depending on whether you plan to do a domestic adoption, the forms you need to prepare and fill out seems endless:
Forms to file a petition in court- Forms for home study
- Application forms for an agency if you plan to use an agency
- Medical records, financial and employment records
- Your personal history and family background
The list goes on and on and without careful planning, you will find yourself under severe stress even before the process begins.
The adoption process can be quite tricky but following these five easy tips, you will be relatively worry-free and can avoid what otherwise can be a taxing route.
- List down all the paperwork you will need to fill out and accomplish. Include a deadline for each form; this way, you can finish each methodically.
- Set aside time to review and fill out all the paperwork. Once you have listed down what you need to do, set aside a time to do them. This will ensure that you stick to your deadline to accomplish the forms.
- Organize and file your paperwork. Use a file organizer and label them properly to keep all your forms in once place. You will find it easier to locate them when you need them at a moment’s notice. You will also be able to keep track which forms you have accomplished and which ones you still need to finish.
- Do not give up. No matter how organized you are, there will be times when you would be fed up with the endless paperwork that you simply just want to give up. Don’t. Encourage yourself by reading stories about successful adoption stories or join webinars about the adoption process. Listen to stories of what other adoptive parents went through and how they succeeded. Go back to the reason you are going to through all this tiresome process, which is to be a parent.
- Stay focused. Concentrate on what you need to do next and how to do them. Be resolute on what you want to happen and how to make it happen so that you can keep the unexpected from happening. This will make the next steps less daunting and tiresome.
Just keep these five easy tips in mind and you will be amazed at how much you have accomplished in no time.
