First Home Study Visit

We had a very successful first home study meeting at our house on Tuesday. We really like our social worker and we felt like we were sitting down with a new friend. She had a good deal of background information about us because we had already submitted our autobiographies. We spent a lot of time talking about our motivation for adoption from Ethiopia, how we intend to talk about adoption with our child, how we might educate ourselves about Ethiopia, parenting style, grief and death and our home. Haven could not have behaved better during the two hour meeting and I was so thankful for that.

The best part of our meeting was finding out that we were able to schedule our second (and last!) home visit for Monday, June 23. We are flying through this process and I couldn't be more excited about that. We will sit down with her one more time once she writes the actual home study report and then we can submit it to USCIS and get that ball rolling. Lots of progress this week and we are praising God for that!
