We are almost done with our home study. We have been working hard at collecting several of the documents needed for the home study and on Friday March 16, 2008 Rudy and I had our individual appointments with our caseworker. As usual I had no idea what to expect and was nervous while I was driving to her house. The meeting was a piece of cake. It lasted an hour, the first half I gave her all the documents Rudy and I had been collecting for her, and the second half she just asked me to elaborate on some of the questions I had completed for my personal profile, and finally we discussed how we are going to handle becoming a transracial family. Rudy's meeting was identical except that I had already given her all the documents, so his was even shorter.
We are now waiting for our FBI cards to come back, by then we should have the last few documents needed to have our final home study meeting at our house; which means we will be working hard to prepare our house for this visit. Hopefully around that time we will also be getting ready to finish up our USCIS and Dossier paperwork.
Other exciting news: While we have been working on our paperwork several of our friends have travelled to Ethiopia to pick up there child or children, and several are getting ready to travel. Please keep all of us in the adoption process in your prayers.
