We had another successful homestudy visit. It was a piece of cake! Our social worker was just fawning over how much preparation we'd put into the paperwork, particularly our comprehensive autobiographies. He really only had a few minor questions for us and said he was ready to start writing the report! He needs two more things to finish it though: our blasted medical forms and our state fingerprints (these are for a child abuse clearance). Well we got the printing done a couple of weeks ago and apparently he got one set of results back but not the other. Hmmm. Hopefully the other will show up in the next couple of days.
The medical forms continue to be a challenge. We had our appointments and had the forms filled out but they needed some blood tests--a regular panel and one additional specific test. Well the regular panel took about 4 days but the specific test we were told would take about 10 days. So it's about 10 days later--I call today to see if the final test result came in and if I can pick up the forms. They go off to do some research and lo and behold--Kevin's result came in but the lab failed to run that particular test for me! Arg! I know for sure that it was written at the bottom, but apparently they missed it. So tomorrow I'm running in and getting Kevin's completed form as well as a new lab slip for me and then having my blood drawn. Luckily this one isn't a fasting test so I'll just be able to do it tomorrow afternoon. But still--what a pain!
Anyway, everything else is running very smoothly. There are another couple of documents we need to produce for our agency as well, but we're very, very close to being done!
We do need some pictures, however. If any of you have a picture of the two of us where we are both in the shot and can be seen clearly, please send it my way!
