Today was our last interview for our homestudy! It was done very quickly by a wonderful lady who assisted in teaching our MAPP classes. By Monday, she will email us a copy to proof read. The Saturday after Thanksgiving we will give her all our additional paperwork and references, and we should have a completed home study by Christmas!
It was so nice to read all the kind things our references wrote about us! I'm so glad we chose who we did to write on our behalf! Their sweet words meant a lot to us in this process.
We learned some more on what to expect when trying to be matched with a child. Some was disheartening. The fact that we have no parenting experience may make us lose out to other families. All I can think is "Would you deny me a biological child because I have not yet parented?" Of course not! So I'm scared that this may be a mark against us, but I'm hoping that being from an adoptive family, having a professional knowledge of services available to special needs children, and all our other good qualities will win out! We plan to submit pictures and other things along with our homestudy in hopes of standing out and helping the caseworkers put a faces to our names!
