Homestudy 2.0

Well, it's hard to believe but we're actually done with our homestudy already! The homestudy consisted of 3 two hour meetings with our caseworker. Today's was the "big meeting" because our caseworker (Katie) actually came out to our house. Katie (my wife) and I felt that the whole process was extremely positive and quite easy. Katie (the caseworker) basically asked us about our parenting philosophy as well as discipline strategies. After that, we toured her around and showed her where the kids would sleep (We have a tent set up outside.... just kidding!) And that was pretty much it. Our caseworker is fabulous. Super nice and easy to communicate with. Also, very responsible and punctual. In addition to the meetings, we had to get 3 personal references, 2 work references, a health screen and the fingerprints. I believe that it's all done. So now, we'll wait for Katie (the caseworker) to type up the official report. That should take 2 or 3 weeks. Then we get to proof-read it, make any corrections and send it off to... who knows. For the record, our caseworker already informed us that we "passed". No real surprise, but it's still nice to have that part done. It's only human for us to think "what if we get denied?" Not to worry anymore.
