Last week was a busy week for Doug and myself. We spend about 4 hours on Tuesday with one-on-one interviews with the Social Worker as one of the last steps in our Home Study. After that was completed, we scheduled our actual home visit with the Social Worker for this past Saturday. We spent the rest of the week making sure our house was up to par for the visit. Verified our smoke/carbon monoxide detectors were working, that our fire extinguisher was working, moved all dangerous substances out of the reach of children, etc. I am happy to announce that with all of the paper work, background checks, autobiographies, interviews, financial verifications, home visits we have passed our Home Study. The social worker is writing it up now and we should be in the waiting pool by January. Doug and I are super excited to be through this part of our journey. All we have left to do is complete the design of our Dear Birthmother Letter and that will be completed over the next couple of weeks thanks to our awesome graphic designer, Tiffany Chen.

Final interviews!
Next week Brent and I have our final home study interviews. We are getting so close to where we will be available for our future birthmother to choose us. This is really happening I seriously have to tell my self you are not dreaming this is happening. You really need to cherish life everyday and I am so thankful for my family and friends everyday. I know the waiting game will begin but I am just ready to meet our future child and start our new chapter in life.

As each week passes we get closer and closer to having our home study complete. We are about to have individual interviews with our agency. I guess I need to prep Brent on what to say.. LOL We have also submitted our first Dear birthmother letters and are about to submit our pictures. Every day I just can’t believe how happy I am to start our family. I know we have only just begun our journey but I have to say I am getting that feeling of “Are we close yet” I know how I am and I thank goodness Brent can calm me down so that I can get through this.
