Home Study

Everything went great with the home study! Sangeeta (Our Social Worker) just went down a checklist that we had already seen. We gave her our "Emergency Plan", she looked around our house for like 2 seconds, then we just chatted. We talked about our preference survey and she answered some questions. She said she was glad that we are completely open racially because especially in California they need more racially open adoptive families. We talked a little more about issues with substance abuse and such. She validated the fact that filling out this paperwork is just wierd and akward! We are going to view this online training called "Conspicuous Families" talking about race, culture, and adoption. Sangeeta also gave us a GREAT list of do's and don'ts for family and friends surrounding adoption. I will post that in another post. We just love spending time talking about our Journey! If you want to compare it, meeting with Sangeeta is like going to an OB appointment! lol

We talked a little about our profile as well, what a daunting process! It feels like you are trying to market yourself sometimes! But overall we just want to convey what is on our hearts and be real. Anyway, whatever we say will speak to the right birth mama's heart because God already has us matched!

Oh and our Wall Words came for our nursery! So now all we have left is to figure out the lighting situation! (And add a baby to the picture!)

Tomorrow is Family picture day! Yay! :)
