Well we had our first meeting with our Washington caseworker last night...and we L.O.V.E our case worker Jason, he's stinkin' awesome.
So I will cut to the chase...
What we need to do:
yes, we will have to pay the $500 transfer fee, not cool, but oh well. We are old college students we know how to pinch pennies 'til our fingers hurt.
Background check - child abuse neglect specific. You have to have background checks in all the states you have lived in, Jason is checking to see how extensive ours were. So worst case scenario we will both have to fill out a little paperwork and wait for it go through. Good news no fee.
Employment verification form. We counted on this one. Just a form to bring to Joseph's Human Resources lady to fill out and send in.
Update our Financial statement. Good news, this is online.. easy peasy!
We may have to do more "adoption training" as to meet Washington State law... checking on that one... see if our adoption classes qualify.
So overall not too bad...the $$ not good... you'll see why in the next post.

I'm sorry about the transfer fee, especially considering your car problems, but I am so glad that it shouldn't be too hard to get it all worked out. That is great that your caseworker is so good! Can people still look at your profile during this transition? Or are you on hold, so to speak? Hang in there! Hopefully it won't be a long wait.
