Social Worker Hired and Let the Paperwork Begin

After several weeks of back and forth with old and new social workers (SW), we have hired a SW to complete a new international homestudy (HS) for us.  Our previous domestic homestudy does not meet the international requirements, back to square one.  Our new HS will  have Hague accreditation even though our adoptive country is not currently Hague.  There is a feeling that before long they will become a Hague country and we are trying to be as proactive as possible.

Now the fun of filling out the forms starts ....

Notice the binder at the edge of the table?  This is my attempt at "organizing" our mountain of paperwork.  By nature, I am not.a.least.bit organized.  I am a piler and a stacker.  Messes really do not bother me and I would much rather over look a pile and play with my kids.  It is a rare occasion that the flat surfaces in our home are free from treasures LOL. 

This is important.  I need to be able to put my finger on the documents, not spend 20 minutes looking through papers for XYZ.  So, organization first!

Welcome!
