Home Study

So..... I finally heard from our Social Worker on Tues., I was getting ansy, and of course she called right when I had a mouth full of food during lunch!! We set up a meeting for last night. I was so anxious, I did not think to ask her what she looked like. We ended up meeting at a library, My hubby and I walk in and it looked like we were scoping the place out. We had no clue who we were looking for, it was quite comical. Since when did the library become a video store? All we saw was rows and rows of dvd's, I guess learning the card catalog was a waste!! LOL

My hubby was getting ansy and feeling stupid so he tells me to go outside and call her and he will listen for a phone to ring in the library. I tell you, we would make good partners in crime, we would totally stick out like sore thumbs but atleast we work well together!! Anyway, I go outside and call and I hear this music, I look over and I see this young lady walking towards me, she looked about 22 and I point to her (I know it is not polite to point but you have to remember, I was anxious so that rule went out the window!!) and say the SW's name and yes, it was her. I had to tell her what I was trying to do, I told her I forgot to ask what you look like. She started laughing and said, I would of found you guys, I have a picture, I was baffled for most of the evening, how did she get a pic of us? Then, DUH!!!, we had to send one in with our paperwork!

So, we get a seat in the back and she asks us questions and everything. The whole time, I am flashing back to high school thinking, why isn't anyone shushing us? We are in a library after all!! I feel so old, the library sure has changed from 18 yrs ago. (WOW, I guess it has been a loooonnnggg time!! LOL)

Well, our next interview is next week, same place, same time. I am looking forward to it, I want to get it done!! Our SW seems pretty cool too, She told us a little about herself and boy, she has a tough job!!! I don't think I could do some of the things she has to do.

Side note, we have our album finished and it looks awesome if I do say so myself!!! I can't wait to hear what the agency has to say about it!! We still have to do the dear birthparents letter, I am dreading that a little because where do you start? How do you thank someone enough to have the courage to make an adoption plan for a child and for giving you the most precious gift there is?

I will update on the home study next week!
