Homestudy Update

Kari and I have both completed our individual interviews, we have completed our couple interview, and our home visit. We are anxiously awaiting the completion of our homestudy paperwork so we can advance in the progress of our adoption!

What a relief

Ok so I had my individual visit with Annie, the social worker, today. I wasn't nervous but once I got there and she started asking questions I felt a little overwhelmed. How much information about your family history is too much and how much is not enough? She asked sooo many questions, which I knew she was going to, but it did kind of feel like a psych. eval. Anyway....my family has a little rocky history so it was kind of nerve racking to answer questions and feel like maybe it could hurt us in the long run. I don't think it will and Annie said we were fine, but it was hard to tell what info. was pertinent and what wasn't. She asked for words that I would use to describe myself and traits that made me a good wife and mom. Who sits around thinking about their own qualities? I don't really think about it I just do what needs to be done. Anyway, I guess I passed and can set Brad's mind at ease for Thurs. He has his individual appointment and now he can know what to expect. On a side note.....we bought a bedspread for "her" room this weekend. It should get here this week!
