You will need tissue paper, your gift, a gift bag, any embellishments, your card and gift tag.  You will need several sheets of white paper to wrap around the gift first, then colored tissue to line the gift bag. You will need several colors of tissue paper that complement the color of the gift bag. Colored tissue paper makes a gift more festive! Make sure your gift bag is appropriate for the occasion. If you are going to curl ribbon to add as a decoration, you will need scissors to curl ribbon. Alternatively, you can use pre-curled ribbon or a pre-made bow. Overlap each of the them several inches, alternating colors.  Use more or less paper depending on the size of the gift and gift bag. If the gift is small, use half sheets of paper.

State agencies, as well as a number of private agencies, typically have classes you must complete to learn about adoption and the needs of adoptive children.  If you're adopting through a state agency, you may have to qualify as both a foster parent and an adoptive parent – even if you're not planning on fostering a child. When adopting through a private agency, you may have to pay a fee to attend parenting classes. During the training sessions, you'll go through the adoption application. If you have any questions about the process or any of the items on the application, ask a staff member for clarification. You must provide thorough personal and financial information to adopt a child. You'll need to attach documentation to your application that supports the statements you made in the application itself.  You'll have to verify your employment and income, and the adoption agency may contact your employer. You also must provide identification that proves you meet the minimum age for adoptive parents in your state. Ask your employer, family members, or other colleagues or community members to write reference letters for you to support your application to adopt. Adoption agencies require you to submit an application, either in person or online, along with all required documents and letters of reference. Before you submit your application, double-check and make sure you have answered all questions honestly and completely. If you have any issues that you think might negatively impact the agency's decision, you might want to write a statement explaining the situation and how you've changed. For example, if you've ever been arrested or convicted of a crime, you want to address this up front on your application and discuss it openly. Once your application is accepted by the agency, you'll be assigned a caseworker who will be your point person throughout the adoption process. They will describe to you the next steps of the process. You need to maintain a good relationship with your caseworker. They are on your side, and want to help you adopt a child. They can answer any questions you have, as well as give you tips and advice. In most states, you must pass a criminal and employment background check before you will be finally approved to adopt. Typically you must request your criminal history from the FBI and the state law enforcement agencies of any states where you've lived.  You also must show that you've never been listed on any child abuse, domestic violence, or sex offender registries. If you have friends or family members who either live in your home or will be frequent visitors, they also may be required to submit criminal histories.

Summary: Attend pre-service orientation and training. Get your documents together. Turn in your application. Meet with your caseworker. Complete all background checks.


While you clean your wounds, inspect them for signs of an infection. Symptoms include redness, swelling, pus coming from the wounds, and a hot sensation around the wounds. You may also have a fever.Call your doctor right away if you spot any signs of an infection. Staying mobile is an important part of recovery. While a full recovery can take 4-6 months, get back to your daily life as soon as possible. Start with small tasks like walking around your home, cooking, and cleaning. Then begin leaving your home and doing some shopping or going for a light walk in the neighborhood. Don’t climb on anything until you’re fully healed. Speak with your doctor if any activities cause you a lot of pain. If you’re still on painkillers, avoid operating cars or other motor vehicles until you’re no longer taking them. Make sure you’re able to press down both pedals before driving.
Summary: Contact your doctor if you see signs of an infection. Begin resuming your daily activities after 2 weeks if you can.
