The First Visit

All the nervousness and anxiety were built up for nothing. It's true when people say that the home study agent isn't coming to your house to do a white glove inspection. They just need to make sure that you have enough space and that it's suitable for a child. They're also there to make sure that you are going to be suitable parents. 

As I mentioned in my last post, our home study agent is incredible. I love working with her and the agency. She came in and stayed for about 2 hours. We went over a number of things like how the process works, where we're at financially, our future goals and hopes, our parenting styles and why parenting in certain ways is important, and why we decided to adopt. I don't feel like we're being judged and that was a big fear when we started on this journey. I feel like we have more clarity and the more time we spend with her, the more at ease I am.

We're looking forward to her next visit, when we start to delve into our childhoods and past histories. I'm looking forward to it and I know it will all be worth it in the end.

Lots of love,
