Home Study visit #2

Between home study visit #1 and #2, Future Dad and I had to write an autobiography. These things took forever! We worked for several hours trying to get all the information typed up. The page with the requirements of things we needed to include was 5 pages long. The other unfortunate thing was that we each had to do our own. It was really hard to stay so focused through the process because it was just so exhausting. To relive all your life and try to think of examples to match the questions was emotionally draining.

Alas, the autobiographies were finished and sent off to be analyzed. During our 2nd visit, we had individual meetings with our social worker. My meeting was fine. She asked lots of questions about my autobiography and she told us all the things we needed to have finished BEFORE meeting #3. The awesome thing is that we had everything done already with one exception. We had to type up some answers to questions regarding adopting internationally. All our education and reading was already finished !!

Whoop Whoop!

Our 3rd home study visit is next week, Tuesday afternoon. This one is talking about our parenting philosophy and theories. We don't know what those are, but hopefully this process will solidify some of those practices.

Tomorrow we are going to a benefit concert for our agency and CHRISTY NOCKLES is singing!

Here is my new favorite of her's:

Waiting for you! My babies: I'm waiting for you!
