This morning we had our first (well...actually our 3rd...if you count the other one we did) home study visit for our adoption. It was AWESOME! She knows that we have gone through this route before and were approved just a few months ago, so we were able to really truck through some remaining papers she needed and discuss a few things we need to still acquire.
She is so very nice and we just loved getting to know her. She is a sweet Christian stay-at-home mom who does this part time! She talked with all of us for a long time mainly talking and listening to the girls. She was wonderful with them and they loved talking...um...they are kin to me, you know!
She looked around the house and wrote up a description. Then, we made some copies of some records she needed (vet, insurance, tax forms, etc.) and then she was headed off. It was only an hour and 20 minutes!!! LOVE IT!!!
We will meet again next Monday and she will meet with Jay and I individually and then the last meeting will follow really quickly just answer any of our remaining questions...if we have them. It should be finished in the next 2-3 weeks! We can then send that off to the Department of Homeland Security to put with our I-600A form. One more step in the process (but one of the MOST vital!).
I know for many of you this language seems pretty foreign. But, it's really not that scary once you jump in with both feet! Thanks for those who send emails and e-cards to us today to remind us you were praying. They mean so much! We are trucking right along:)
