Home Study is Studied!

For the last three weeks we have been meeting with our caseworker, who has got to be one of the most kind people, to complete our homestudy. She has been very supportive of moving through the process as quickly and efficiently as possible, which we are very grateful for. We had to complete three visits with her. The first visit consisted of her walking through our home, and interviewing us about our decision to adopt and our relationship with one another. The second visit primarily consisted of individual interviews about our childhood and our relationship with parents. Last night was our final visit with her to complete the homestudy! We discussed medical conditions we would be willing to accept, our health history, our employment and spirituality. We were so excited to wrap up that part of the adoption process! Once she has our report written we will review it and then we can begin submitting all of our paperwork for the dossier. We are so anxious to move through each step that we have all of the paperwork gathered and ready to go-we just need to add our homestudy report to it! We were very excited last night so we made a few phone calls and then celebrated by having dinner with some good friends. We continue to pray that the timing will work out and that there will be very few set backs! We can't wait to bring home our baby!
