So I was just complaining that the adoption process seems to be moving slow (or not at all) and today I get a call from our case worker, to set up our home visit. Given the pace at which things move at, I was expecting an appointment a month, or even two, from now. Nope. Next week. EEK!!!
I feel like there is SO much to do to get the house ready. We’ve been guilty of using our extra bedroom as a mini storage, and a rather disorganized one at that. I am ridiculously sentimental and want to hang on to EVERYTHING – every outfit Bella has ever worn, every picture she’s ever drawn, everything. Well holding on to everything makes for a lot of STUFF. So time for a big purge this weekend – one that I need to look at as not a letting go of precious memories, but instead look at it as possibly opening up the door to creating a new world of memories. But panic mode is setting in to say the least! And Murphy’s Law is such that Bella has half days tomorrow and Thursday, and the day off from school Friday. She’s usually happy to help any project that involves her unearthing long lost treasures, so hopefully she’ll lend a hand. Though I really wish she could take out the trash, that would be darn useful.
I really have no idea what all the ask you at the home visit. Between the application and all of the detailed reference reports they’ve gotten on us, it seems like they already know everything! I have to gather up lots of documents and paperwork as well. One task at a time. I know I could push the appointment out, but the thought of really getting everything in gear is VERY exciting! So here we go…
