I started out with a much smaller binder and soon realized that was not going to work.
This binder holds all the paper work, fundraising information, forms, documents, phone numbers,questions, list of things to do, books that need to be read, classes we have to take, references,background checks, finger printing information, medical forms, insurance information, fire safety, other safety checklist, child abuse forms, drivers records, biographies, applications... I think that sums it up?
This is what it looks like sometimes during a school morning while the children are working on school, I work on paperwork. It works out rather well, it made it seem not so overwhelming or like wow this is alot!
It took me about two morning to write my biography and an evening to type it up. Kevin on the other hand is still writing his up. We are all trying to encourage him.
Are date for the home study was April 29th at 8am in the morning. We were all up and ready to face whatever the Lord brought us, just before she came I said to my self what do I have to worry or be anxious about, the Lord says be anxious for nothing. Philippians 4:6
So we spent all morning sitting in the living room talking, asking questions and answering tons of questions. Then shortly afternoon we gave a very quick tour of our house and then sat at the table and worked on paper work for a half hour or so. So my binder is lighter. I only have a few pieces to get to her sometime this month (along with Kevin's biography).
This is all I have left!
she said now I can start on the paperwork for Joshua Tree.
That is a whole new story and step in the process.
Now we wait and pray as all this will take about a month to run all the checks and whatever else they have to do. So that is what a home study is all about.

Thanks for the up-date. God bless you in your efforts to adopt little Miss A.
