So finally last night at 9.42pm, I finished my Life Story. ::YAY trumpets playing::
Not saying that its good, but it is finished, for now. I have sent it off to 2 friends to read and then comment if I need to change it at all. One of my friends, Mrs L has already been through adoption so has written her own story and the other is trusted friend Mrs C who will give me her honest opinion on what I have written and if it is complete dribble.
L has already had a look and thinks I have to much detail as DHS normally come back and want more later, she thinks I should leave some for later. But maybe if I give it all to them now, they won’t ask for more.
YEAH RIGHT.
So now I just have to wait for D to complete his, he thinks it will be easy, I have given him another week because we won’t be able to get to DHS until the week after to do the police checks anyways.
I must tell you, I was so overwhelmed with the thought of doing this right that I almost gave up. And when I say gave up, nearly pulled the plug on adopting at all. I was so overwhelmed I was crying in the lounge room over this. How crazy!

Awesome job on getting the Life Story done. We had to do one each for our foster care application and it was so tedious. I hope D gets his done soon.
