ONE! Just one home study appointment left. We had our final appointment at the agency this evening. It was the shortest one yet. We handed over a big pile of paperwork only to get a couple more pieces to complete. At this appointment we were mostly talking about our parenting style and adoption issues. It was hard to talk about how we would discipline our child as a teenager, but luckily we both had great experiences from our parents to pull from!
Our next step is for our social worker to come to the house. She will take a look around and then we'll finish up the interview part by talking about what we are comfortable with in terms of adopting. That is scheduled for August 7th. We were hoping to complete the home study before we go to the beach and it looks like that will happen!
We are so excited to have the home study almost behind us, but at the same time it was something to look forward to every couple of weeks. It was a sign of progress! We may not get those signs of progress once the home study is complete. But then again the end result is so much better than a home study appointment! When we left the agency this evening, our social worker said that the next time we came back to the agency it might be to meet our baby! How exciting is that?
Thanks for all your prayers, phone calls, and e-mails! It certainly helps to know that we have your support! We'll let you know how it goes on the 7th!
