Items we had to complete included:
- biographical information for each of us
- employment information for each of us
- our income information (China requires $10,000 annual income per person in the household)
- biographical information for Preston
- whether we had been turned down for adoption
- whether we had been arrested
- our Home Study agency
- our adoption preferences
- a Statement of Understanding & Acknowledgement
- whether we understood Shaling's medical needs
- an Application for China Special Needs Adoption
- an Adoption Special Needs Questionnaire
- a Net Worth Statement, with lists of our Assets & Liabilities (China requires a net worth of $80,000 or more)
- a letter explaining our plans, abilities, resources, and financial capabilites to provide for Shaling's needs
- passport style photos of Amy & Brock
- some recent family photos of all three of us
We found a lot of it to be redundant. We realized later that we hadn't begun to understand the meaning of redundancy.
