Call me social worker!

I called and emailed the social worker Wednesday last week in order to schedule our first visit for our homestudy and she hasn't called me back! Call me back social worker!!!

Scheduling homestudy!

Last Wednesday I mailed the application and fee for the homestudy to a local agency. Today the social worker called, left her contact info and asked us to call her back to schedule our visits! So exciting! I will have to check our schedules and see when a good time is in the next couple of weeks for us to meet with her. She will make 2 visits to our house, and interview us both together and separately.

Last week Papa_D and I went to a meeting of adult adoptees and got some great information on what it was like to grow up after being adopted and what they liked or would have changed about their experience. I thought it was great! We got some good handouts on preparing for everything that was happening.

Baby_D - I am trying to get on a more normal schedule for when you arrive. Since I'm doing a blog entry at 11:00 at night, I'm obviously not doing a great job yet. But I'm working on it!

Profile and paperwork done!

It's been crazy busy lately, so progress has been slower than I expected. This week I put together 2 copies of our profile and filled out the paperwork required by our attorney. It was sent off today!!! Yay for first steps! Our profile will be shown right away to birthmoms that haven't delivered yet. I have to complete the application for a homestudy and once our homestudy is approved we will be eligible to be shown to all birthmoms. The most recent few placements our attorney did were last minute so we have to be prepared for that.
