Progress.....ish.
We got a call from our cw today. Of course, I didn't get to the phone fast enough and missed it. She was calling to set up our homestudy! Snap! And when I called her back she was away and I left her a voicemail.
I hate phone tag. Working with the state should be a blast.
Anyway, its time for us to start preparing for the homestudy. From what I hear, its not a lady with a white glove inspecting the tops of the bookshelves, or searching through all of your dressers and cabinets.
I think what the cw will do is make sure your house is safe and 'kid'proof. That includes having a fire extinguisher, socket covers, cabinet door latches,first aid kit, fire escape route and maybe even a fire escape ladder thingy (that's the technical term).
On a deeper level, she will probably talk to the kids and get their feelings about fost/adoption. Of course they will talk to L and I about our relationship, parenthood, etc.
Beyond that, I don't know.
So yeah, I'm NERVOUS!
