Homestudy Interview #1

Well, that was much easier than we thought! This morning we just had our first interview with the social worker for our homestudy. She came to our house for it. We were told it would take 2 1/2 - 3 hours, and we were wondering what on earth she'd be asking us about for so long! But it only took an hour, and it was easy. She took a tour of our house, and wrote down a list of the rooms we had. Then she just talked with us about how we decided to adopt, how we handle conflict, who does what in the household, and so forth. She was very conversational, not at all an interrogator. So, we're thanking God that it wasn't as big of a deal as we thought! Ethan wouldn't talk to her of course, but hopefully she won't hold that against us. :) Next we each have a one-on-one meeting with her. Then a few more documents to submit, and then our homestudy will be done. Yippee! Hopefully just a few more weeks to wrap that up. It feels great to have one more step completed!
