Home Study #3

We are moving right along! The social worker came tonight for the 3rd visit. This time we talked about our jobs, marriage, finances, and more parenting styles. It was the longest visit but it went really well! We scheduled our next and last visit for Thursday where we will just review the completed home study. She said it'll be about 10 pages long (wow!) and then it will be sent for review! Sorry for all of the exclamation marks I'm just really excited!

Home Study Visit #2 & Fundraising

We had our 2nd home study visit tonight. It went really well! This visit we talked about our family history and shared our parenting styles so it took a little longer than the last one. So we only have 2 more visits to go!

I also want to share that we will be doing some fundrasing to help bring our little one home. We have created an account on JustLoveCoffee.com. If you love coffee (or if not it's a great gift idea) when purchasing through our name on the website a portion goes towards our adoption! The link is https://justlovecoffee.com/meadowslovejourney. Its really easy to purchase and everything is fair trade and organic! We really appreciate your love and support!

Home Study!

So, we have been really busy with paperwork since our last post! We had to submit things like finacial info, background checks (which have all been cleared YAYY!), physical exams, psychological exam, birth certificates, marriage license, copies of passports, etc. So like 20 things in all. It was crazy but we have finally collected everything and submitted the very last thing on Friday March 14. Then on Tuesday the 18th they assigned us our social worker. We met with the SW for the first time today and she is amazing! She was super nice and the first visit was very simple. She asked us about our neighborhood, our home and we gave her basic info about us. Then she took a tour of our house and that was it! I was a little nervous about the whole home study process at first but the SW made everything really easy. We are so happy to already be this far in to the process in such a short amount of time. Since the social worker is so flexible with time our next visit is on Tuesday and then the 3rd visit is Sunday. For the fourth visit she will have written everything for us to review then it will be ready to submit to the home study agency then Holt. We are trying to go as fast as possible through this process since we know the wait will be long. God has blessed our family so much already through this journey and we cannot wait to see what He has planned for our family!
