Here is the huge, thick envelope containing all our information that is needed to start our Home Study.
It contains:
- 5 Application forms (containing details of our finances, parenting styles etc)
- Copies of our Singapore Employment Passes
- Copies of our passports, birth certificates
- Copies of all our education qualifications
- Full medical check ups for both of us.
- Letters from our work to verify our salaries and length of contract with them.
- Bank / financial statements
- Proof that we own a car
We are still waiting on our criminal clearance certificates which need to be sent from Pretoria in South Africa.
We really want to be parents! I have felt such a yearning in my heart and sometimes just dream about the day we get a call to come fetch our baby! What would it feel like?
I read some CRAZY and sad stats about adoption and abortion rates in Singapore.
I was really shocked:
2009 - adoptions: 419, Abortions: 12318
2010 - adoptions: 325, Abortions: 12083
2011 - adoptions: 418, Abortions: 11940
2012 - adoptions: 396, Abortions: 10624
A positive point is that the rate of abortions seems to be decreasing but the numbers are staggering!!
Im praying for my future baby - I'm praying his/her mother choose LIFE, no matter what her circumstance might be!
