We were told a couple days ago by Helen that it is ok to talk freely to Gertrude now about adopting her as she now knows. That is great because we have wanted to whenever we talked to her but couldn't. Helen said the paperwork has been started. I assume that means to clear her for international adoption. She may not need to have a formal interview. Her friend Kristine, who also said "no" to adoption in March has said "yes" now, and her adoptive parents received a letter from the Ministry of Family Affairs stating this. They got a reply now because the Ministry just recently got their request to adopt and replied after the kids were asked again in August. Our letter came before the kids were asked again. I don't know if I will receive another letter stating she has changed her mind or if they will just start the process. A letter would be nice, but if we know the paperwork is getting started, that's good enough!
We had our 2nd and 3rd interview for our home study and our last one will be on Sept. 14. She will come to our house and meet Tena. It shouldn't be too long after that she will have it written up. We do have to attend 2 classes, one on Sept. 16 and another on Sept. 23, that are on adoptive parenting so I'm not sure if those have to be completed before she starts writing up the Home Study. We'll find out but hopefully not.
