So, I have spent the last two days cleaning like the Queen of England was coming over! All you ladies our there know that there are different kinds of cleaning. There's the close friends are coming over so you straighten things up a bit kind of cleaning. There's the family is coming to town so we better clean this house cleaning. And then there's the kind of cleaning that takes place when a social worker is coming to your house for a home tour as part of your home study process for adoption! This is the kind of cleaning that your husband will participate in, voluntarily!!!! And for all of you who are wondering, yes, the kitchen is put back together, finally!
The home tour was pretty painless, really. We gave the social worker a tour of the house, which didn't take long. By the way, she thought our new patio was pretty cool! Then we sat down at the table to answer a few of the necessary questions about our home's value, our neighbors and neighborhood, the school district and safety issues. She was super friendly and we are so glad she was able to come help us with this portion of our home study. She will type up her review and send it on to Hillary, our social worker who did our home study. This will be included in the final document that will be presented to the judge.
Now, we are going to seriously work on getting all of our pictures taken for the web profiles. I decided it would be best for us to take things one at a time, so now that we have done everything we need to for the home study, we can move on to the next thing. The sooner we get our pictures taken and submitted, the sooner they can make our web profiles and of course, the sooner we can be "picked" by a birthmother.
We are excited to move on through this process!
