First Home Study Meeting Done

This morning we had our first in-home meeting with our social worker.  She is wonderful and we are so thankful that she is working with us.  This meeting consisted of our SW asking questions like, what is our motivation for adopting, do we understand there could be delays.  She addressed that fact that the probability that our child will come with attachment issues and possibly other emotional problems is big.  We went over some paperwork and had a nice conversation around our table with cups of coffee in hand.  I couldn't have asked for a better experience.  Oh, and let me just say.......SHE DID LOOK IN ALL MY CLOSETS!!!  And because of my obsession with cleaning and organizing during the month of August, I was ready.  Thank you. No embarrassment whatsoever. Ha! I rock!  Okay, so do my kids, I did pay them after all.  =D

Near the end of the meeting our SW said that we are moving fast and almost have all the home study paperwork done.  We knew that and we are so happy, but we need to do some serious money saving and fundraising.  Thanks to all of you who have so generously bought coffee or donated money for this adoption.  It means so much to us, you'll never know just how much.  Keep praying for us!  We are so excited to see how God moves in this journey!
