So, last night was our home study visit. I think it went pretty well. Ms. L talked to Papa, Mama, and Tator about day to day life and what we are looking for. Of course Tator wants a play mate, Mama wouldn't mind a baby to snuggle, and Papa is just hoping for a boy. Really, any'thing' God blesses us with will be a welcomed addition to the fam.
I do have to go down a little bit of a ranting road for a moment....please indulge me.
We have spent the last few weeks gathering information, seeing doctors, preparing our home, and digging out old baby stuff. Bottom line, we have been working pretty hard toward this goal. While talking to Ms. L last night we learned that we could have a child(ren) placed with us, have them in our home for years, and when adoption time comes, they could leave us to go and live with some relative that the courts drag out of who knows where. Does the relative have to go through the checks and screening process we have been through.....nope. All they require is matching DNA. Isn't that a little messed up? I do not often engage in political conversations, but I think that is just one of the ways our government is not family friendly,nor does it have the best interest of children at heart. (Of course this is because my view if pro-foster, pro-adoption.)
Any-who.....Now we just have one more meeting and that is our training class mid-November and then.....we wait :) Prayers for patience....here we come!!!
