We had our first step of our home study at the end of May. Home study, like I have said before is 'home study' is an adoption term. I am learning them as I go. Some I still don't get. Home study, I only know step 1. I will learn as we go. Part 2 is our individual meeting.
We went and met with our, I guess she's called a case worker, on Thursday afternoon before we headed to the beach for Memorial Day weekend. We met at a local restaurant, on the patio. It was so relaxed. I was a little nervous. Telling someone you had never met your dreams and about your 'history'. She stated that by the end she will know way more about us than we want her to know.
We just talked a little bit about what we had in mind, and she went through a page and a half of 'to-do's'. We have to get lots of documents, certificates, questionnaires, letters, physicals, fingerprints, verification's, photos of us and our home, etc. We have no deadlines so that makes things a little harder for me. Self motivated? I think I'm better at timelines. So I have set some for myself. I love check lists, so that's helpful. Motivating? I hope so.
So...here's to being self motivated, and checking off that to-do list!!
1. Questionnaire - check
2. Photos of our home - check
3. Photos of us - check
4. Sheriff's reports from our address - 2 out of 4 (yes we have lived in 4 counties in 5 years)
5.
I love you guys!!! As always, praying for you, each!
