After 2 days, 8 hours of driving and A LOT of talking, the interview portion of our home study is complete. It was nothing like we expected, which is a good thing. It was mainly a question/answer type situation that was rather enlightening for us both. At times, it was emotional but there were also moments of light hearted laughter, just like life!
The next step is our "home tour" which is basically a description of our home and neighborhood to be completed by a local social worker. We hope to get that done soon so we can officially say this portion is complete. I have basically compartmentalized this process, in that, I've decided we need to get complete a step then focus on the next. There is so much that is required from us that I was feeling overwhelmed. I wanted to complete the home study so we can focus on the media portion of our marketing process. So you guessed it, I will be toting my camera everywhere waiting to capture a shot of us, smiling of course!!
Once we have all of our pictures ready, we can send them to the media department for them to create our web profile to be viewed by birthmothers. These will be one of the ways a birthmother will be able to learn about us. We are excited about getting this part of the process going. The sooner we have our web profiles made, the sooner we are going to be out there for a birthmom to see us and then pick us!!!
Thank you for being a part of this journey with us!
