We have the official homestudy

We received the signed homestudy in the mail this weekend. It is kind of anti-climactic, though. Obviously now the agency can now show our profiles to potential birth families, but it is like "now what?". We have given lots of family and friends copies of the potential birth mother letter to give to whomever they wish, so that may spark something. Also our lawyer will have copies to give to any cases that may come her way. But it is really out of our hands and in God's. I loathe waiting, especially when there is not a whole lot I can do to produce results.

But they do say good things come to those who wait!

It's Done!

Our last homestudy visit was the easiest one. We really had no changes for Lettie to make, so we just talked for a bit and she was on her way. The best part is next time she comes will be for our post-placement visits once we have the baby!

I really can't imagine having a better social worker to work with. Her middle son wants a Jeep and I think that Dave scared her out of getting him one with all of the 4-wheeling stories! We have lots in common with her. She told us she really hopes we get our baby very quickly! So do we.

We will have our paper copies of the homestudy next week. So that really means it could happen anytime!

Final Homestudy Visit!

We have a copy of the homestudy in our hands. It is just the draft, but it looks really good. Well I am guessing it looks really good, I have never seen a homestudy before.

Lettie is coming for the final homestudy visit on Thursday. We will just go over the written homestudy. Then we are done with that process!

One step closer!

Slight Delay

Tonight was supposed to be our last homestudy visit, but Lettie has been sick with the flu....so it is rescheduled to next week. Still think we will have the documents in our hands by the end of the month. Just ready to have the visits done, so I don't have to clean my house so much! Even though she only sits on the couch for an hour, I still feel the need for everything to be spotless! I guess that is a good thing overall.

Still working on the profile for the agency. I have to get a few pictures of our house and we need a good picture of us for the cover.
