Last Tuesday we had the home study visit. Everything went very well. The rough draft of the study is done and being sent to our agency today! God has been so good to us! Our dossier is finished as well (except for the home study). St. Elizabeth's and our social worker, Jo Anne, were so gracious to work on such a quick time frame. Jo Anne, said that they normally take 4-6 weeks to get a home study done. Ours was done in a few weeks. Just goes to show you how inefficiently we work sometimes. I am sure there is a reason for the time they take. I am just glad they made an exception for us.
Our next stop is to meet with our adoption agency, IAG, this week. After that, it will just be finalizing the home study and dossier. And ultimately, waiting for our referral. Besides chasing down paperwork, we have been trying to prepare for the girls. However, I am finding that extremely difficult! This is harder then pregnancy! At least when you are pregnant, you know you will be getting an infant. So, you know exactly what they need...a crib, 0-3 month clothes, and all the rest of the baby gear. We could get girls anywhere from 9 months to 5 years old. I guess I should just focus on getting the boys' room arranged and organized so that when the time comes, I won't be trying to do both rooms.
