Homestudy Done!! Interviews next!

The SW was a bit late (called that she was running late, and got here about 3pm instead of 2:30pm. It only lasted about an hour and a half.

Our SW was really nice, though worried me a bit at first when she was talking about the homestudy part could take a long time (liscensing, etc) until i reminded her that we were only doing adoption of "legally free" and not fostering. (So not liscensing needed, just the homestudy! )

It sounds like we only have the interviews left to do now - the one with both of us and then seperatly. She said at the very very latest the homestudy and such would be complete no later than the end of July. (Apparently that is her idea of a long time... which it is, but not as long as I was thinking she meant) We're very very flexible on times, so that will speed things up too, since she can call and schedule for that afternoon type of thing... its easy for us to get there with short notice.

After all my worrying - things went exactly as everyone else kept telling me... she walked through the house quickly like a bored neighbor, didn't even want to look in our room (so much for cleaning that! lol) and then we proceeded to sit down at the kitchen table. I think we could have had bags of trash in the middle of the room and she wouldn't have noticed.

The only thing we need to do is, print out our tax form again and sign it, since apparently they needed our signature on the bottom of it (we filed electronically), and our doctor forgot to check a box on our medical form, so we have to bring that by to the doctor to fix.

Other than that, we are fairly set! The important part is: The home visit portion of the Homestudy is done!!!
