New! looking for milspouse advice & encouragement : )

Since posting, we signed with an agency and have completed our home study, and are now a waiting family for a domestic infant adoption. We are still residents of MA, but our home study had to be completed by an agency licensed in ME where we live, and the adoption also will have to be finalized in ME. The process seemed so confusing at first, but once we sat down and talked with a few agencies, it became clear how to proceed. Best of luck to everyone waiting to adopt! It's certainly that much harder as a military family on the move. Our agency had never worked with a family that needed five states worth of background checks for the previous five years of residency! : P We're fortunate to know for certain that we'll be here for two more years, but afterward we'll be back to at least bi-yearly reassignments, so hopefully we can complete our adoption here before the next PCS.
