Homestudy

Our Social worker came for our home visit. It went very well. She said everything looked great. She took a short tour of our house and then interviewed us one on one. We each talked about our lives from childhood til now. It will take her a few weeks to get it written up and then she will forward it on to Eugene, OR where the Holt International headquarters is located.

First Homestudy Meeting

We had our first meeting with our Social Worker on Saturday Night Sep. 20, 2008. She has 6 new families that are just starting the process. We had a group meeting and got to know the families. 3 are adopting from Korea, 1 with Ethiopia, and 1 with China. We had a great meeting. We are now just waiting to schedule a time for our Social Worker to come to our house for the actual home visit. We have to have 2 face to face visits with her before our homestudy can be sent to Korea. So we are very anxious for her to do our home visit. She said it's very unusual that she has 6 new families at the same time. She usually has 6-8 per year. So needless to say it may take longer to get our home visit. So for now we are just hanging in there.
