I saw someone else post something like this and thought it was a great idea for those of you that are also adopting from Kaz. I wish everyone would do this because we all could learn from others! I will try to keep this updated as we go through this journey.
1. Get Forms Apostilled ASAP- Our agency told us to wait until we had the 171h approval before apostilling. Big Mistake. We could have saved 2 weeks of time had we not done this. We encountered big problems with apostilling. One- our notary wording was wrong (hence the next one) and a few of the forms had a mistake on it with the notary
2. Verify Notary Wording with your Secretary of States Office
3. Make sure your Salary in your Homestudy matches the Salary on your Financial Form (the Homestudy asks for your Tax Return income and the Financial Forms asks for annual income so if you receive a bonus you have to add that in a separate place on your Financial Form)
4. Start keeping a Adoption Cost spreadsheet early so you have all dates and amounts you have spent (we did do this early:>)
