Last Saturday we had our meeting with our home study agency (local Des Moines agency, since our adoption agency is in St. Louis). We really like our case worker (not sure her actual title), Lucy. She has a really cool tie to a Kids Save program that has done camps to bring Colombian kids to Iowa. So, yet another reason we feel that this was meant to be our local agency.
We weren't too nervous for the meeting, since we are already parents and think we are doing pretty OK. Anyone who has met our boys can judge for themselves I guess, but we are quite proud of them. We did clean our house really well, but no more than if we were having a big get together. I also took the opportunity to organize our game cabinet, storage area under the stairs, one of the boys closets, two junk drawers and our desk. That was fun to me though!
We thought the meeting went really well. Knowing we had that deadline, really made us step it up on the paperwork. I think we are down to just a few more photocopies of documents we have and doing our online training. Back on track for our goal to complete our paperwork by the end of the year (or at least close to it!).
Good thing I am not blogging to attract a lot of readers, because I'm sure this is fairly boring. It at least meets the goal of tracking our journey for future reference.
Thanks for reading!
