The second part of our home study actually didn't take place in our home. Since we pay mileage for the social worker to come to us, they were kind enough to let us come to them. This saved us about $150 dollars. This was okay to do because the interview actually had nothing to do with our home.
The interview started with both of us together, answering some follow-up questions from the first part of our home study. Then, the agent split us up and interviewed us individually for an hour. We weren't quite sure of what to expect, but it went well. I think she was trying to see if we told the same stories and were on the same page with adoption stuff.
When the interviews were over, she told us that she has no hesitancies about us becoming adoptive parents. She strongly encouraged us to get our "profile book" printed, which we did last night. And, she scheduled the third and final part of our home study for this Thursday, March 31.
So, on Thursday we will be finished with all the preliminary work. Next week, we will become a waiting family...waiting for a child to be matched with us. This whole process has moved so quickly and we can see God guiding us through it all. Thank you for your many prayers. God is moving.
