And now it is over!!! Our "home visit" by our social worker that is!! I have no idea why I was so worked up over it? I mean we have nothing to hide in our home, my bathrooms were clean, our children are well-behaved (most of the time??), we had already met the lady before and I am pretty sure she liked us? But the thought of having her come and make notes about our house, draw out room dimensions, interview our kids (ya never know what #3 is gonna say!)...well, I was VERY nervous. So I am glad to say that she came, she interviewed, she commented about Zachary's eyes, we exchanged loads of papers, she left, I put a big check in the mail, and it is OVER! Now here's to hoping she writes this home study quickly so that we can jump through the next hoop - the I-800A for USCIS (immigrations). More paperwork, but no more home visits!
Sometimes I get pretty paperwork weary, and the thought that we still have more to do can get overwhelming. When I get tired of this "paper pregnancy", I try and remember the big picture...our son is waiting for us! And one thing that is helping me maintain perspective this week is reading the blog of another family (check it out here) whose "Gotcha Day" is tomorrow!! To make it even cooler, they will be visiting their daughter's orphanage in a few days. Their daughter has been in the same orphanage as Mycah! She will be asking to meet him and take a few pics for me! I SO hope they let her.......
