Our first (real) homestudy appointment

Our first (real) homestudy appointment was yesterday. The homestudy guy was really nice - it is nice working with him. It lasted about an hour and he asked a lot of questions about how Brent and I met, what we loved about each other, our strengths as a couple, how we planned to parent. It wasn't so bad. Very similar to our mini homestudy interview. I thought he was going to do a home inspection so I cleaned really well, but he said he didn't need to do that until the last visit.

We have two more appointments and then he thinks we'll be finished. Then he has to write it all out for us - so we should hopefully have it completed in 3 weeks.


Also I'm filing our I-600a (Immigration application to adopt an orphan) this week. I think this form will be the real wait - the website said they were now processing forms that were submitted in December. Hopefully they just have not updated the site in a while.
