The first step in adoption is to gather documentation from every aspect of your life. I have a very poor memory for dates and addresses, so the best way for me to get that was to call my Mom.
She was very supportive of our first adoption. She even went to Russia with us, when we brought home Kristina. However, I wasn't ready to tell her WHY she needed to send me all of this info. My mother is usually the poster child of polite, calm, and proper, but she wouldn't stop asking!
Finally, she blurted out: "You're adopting again! What country and can I go with you?!?!"
(Seeing mom so excited was the perfect "pick-me-up" in the middle of the stress of adoption.)
