when it comes time to update your paperwork...

Don't forget your passport!  Medicals and police clearances are what you hear people talk about updating...but the passport is critical to be valid as well.  Up until this week, as far as I knew, the only requirement was for the passport to be good 6 months past when you travelled.  Now I know that each applicant needs to have a valid passport at the time of matching.  My advise...if you are expecting a referral make sure you have at least a year left on your passport.  You can renew your passport early.

And, for reference, the pity-me I really need help feature of a prospective adoptive parent in a nasty situation she can honestly blame bringing on herself  doesn't cut it in the passport office.  They require documention...preferably confirmed travel plans.
