Homestudy!

Our social worker, Angela, came today for our homestudy.  We were amazingly able to complete the paperwork part of the adoption process in just a few days so the next step was to have Angela over to our house. 

The visit went really well except one minor issue; the pool in the backyard.  We live on a family farm outside of the city limits.  There is an in-ground pool in our backyard that does not have a fence around it.  Angela had to make a few phone calls and was told that we can slide by this issue by making a few adjustments.  First, we have to buy alarms for all the doors on the first floor that open up to the outside.  Secondly, we have to install a pool alarm that goes off once something enters the pool.

With the homestudy behind us, we now enter the waiting period . . .
We are waiting for the tribe to give us an answer . . . waiting for the birthmother to go into labor . . . and waiting to see what God has in store for us!
