Today we had our home visit. And it went great. The boys were as good as they can be at their age and I absoulutely love our social worker. She is a UGA graduate! Go Dawgs!
Basically the social worker visits your home to assess your living environment. Most people including me overreact to this visit. I had adoptive parents who had been through "the visit" tell me to relax. It's fine. Not a big deal. But leading up to the visit you start to think about how your home represents you. Is it clean enough, safe enough, homey enough? And the next thing you know you are doing all these crazy things to prove that you are going to provide the best home for a child. Like cleaning all your base boards. But hey it's the first week of spring and it probably needed to be done for spring cleaning anyways. Doesn't help much when your husband is following you around singing "Mr.Clean, Mr. Clean."
Most of the actual visit was an interview style about about our marriage and how we deal with conflict. Swords at ten paces!
No, but really today was lovely. It was a chance to PAUSE LIFE and reminisce about the days gone by in our marriage, and share our dreams for the days to come.
Cannot wait for these boys to share their love to their baby sister.
They will be so blessed to have her.
