Peyton shifted nervously as Jenny jumped up next to her. The two stood up and headed where the lady stood.
"Is Mr. Jagielski here?"
Peyton explained, "He's running a bit late...traffic, he should be here in a few minutes."
The lady smiled, "Well, let's go ahead a get started."
She led them to the room from which she had just came from,
"We don't get as many people looking into adoption as we did a decade ago. Most people choose invetero or whatever new process is out now. Can I assume that wasn't an option?"
Peyton nodded and the lady began to continue but was interupted as Jake poked his head in the door before picking Jenny, who was somewhat small for her age, and placing her on his lap and reaching for Peyton's hand.
"I'm sorry for being late."
The lady nodded, "That's alright. My name is Noelle and I'll be with you, helping through out the entire process. What happens first is primarly paperwork, and once you filled out everything it could take three to six months to process. Thanks to updated technology you'll be aware of where exactly it is in progress. Unfortunately, new technology has yet to lower the amount of paperwork."
She bent over and pulled a thick file from the drawer.
Jake looked at it skeptically, "That's alot of trees."
Noelle smiled, "Let me be honest, these processes tend to speed up if the couple gets the paperwork in fast, and with you two in the position you are in, finacially, I don't think there is going to be much delay in the paperwork. And we can get the home study done rather quickly as well."
"Home Study?"
"I and a liscensed obsever will come by just to make sure the family is ready for a new addition." Noelle assured.
That night Peyton and Jake worked making a start in the paper work.
"Would we be open to more than one child, such as siblings, or multiples?" Peyton asked reading the question from the paper she was currently working on.
"Sure, why not?"
Peyton smiled, "I was hoping you'd say this."
An hour went by.
"We're never going to get this done."
"Have faith, baby."
Author's Note: I'm not going to pretend that I actually know anything about adoption, just what I see off T.V. Plus, this is set in the future anyhow so hey, it could happen my way...unlikely but possible.
And this is just a filler chapter...so I put up another chapter...also, to make up for my lack of updates.
