Our new homestudy is scheduled for Tuesday, January 17 at 8:30AM. Should be a blast and half, right? I really, really wish it was sooner, but the c'est la vie. I was such a stress monkey last time, and the experience really wasn't that bad (not that it was fun, of course) so this time I'm going to try to cool my jets just a tad. Hey, I can try.
Originally we were told our new homestudy would likely be done over the phone, as nothing really has changed on our end--same condo, same animals, same jobs, same everything, really, just another year of waiting. But this is the world of adoption, and the control isn't in our hands, so a home visit it will be!
Hopefully she will complete it quickly and the immigration dance can begin.
Thirteen days away! That must feel like forever - I hope it will be a quick formality and you can get on with the next steps!
ReplyDeleteHow annoying. I had a nightmare last night that for some reason I was responsible for your home study and there had been a huge party at your house, and I had to get it cleaned up and looking perfect in one hour. And of course everything kept going wrong, I couldn't find the vaccuum etc. Hideous! I will be glad when it's over!!!! :-) xxx

That seems a bit of a long time, to me--don't you have a pretty strict time table for this? Yikes. Start cleaning! :-)

Oh the home studies. So not worth the fretting but who can help but fret over them? Hoping it gets here quick and it's just a quick update kind of thing!
ReplyDeleteThat's awesome! One more step on the road to your baby!

I really hated having people judging my home for our homestudy, although it went fine. And I would really hate to do it again, but it is one more step in the process. Don't you love all of the hoops? Keep plugging away.

Only 13 days to clean your house! That would be my reaction. I am so lucky our social worker did not have a pet allergy because our house is so dogified nothing short of demolition could undo that.
ReplyDeleteGood luck - it is a pain but so worth it, right?
I've been meaning to write you also but I've got a really bad case of post holiday blues and adoption blues, I'm just blue all around.
praying your home study is completely painless and that little elves come and clean your house between now and then. and while I'm at it, I am praying they come clean my house too. : )
ReplyDeleteSoooooo excited to see this journey unfold and I can't wait to hear more about your little sweetie!
