Our social worker from AdoptKids, Inc. was in town this past weekend to do our home visits for the Home Study.
Both Friday night and Sunday afternoon were occupied for this time. Questions, paperwork, walk through of home, more questions, more questions, more questions. You get the picture, right? ;)
Honestly, Scott and I are both thankful for this process. Adoption IS a BIG deal. And those adopting, MUST take it seriously! We live in a crazy world and we are thankful additional steps are taken to ensure these children (orphans) are being adopted by parents who are adequate, who will care for them. No, nothing is perfect, but these steps are definitely helpful nonetheless.
Heather, the social worker, was a very friendly woman. Currently living in Washington state with her husband and children. They, too, have adopted. There's something comforting there. To be on common ground, per se.
Her husband is actually from Togo. This is a neighboring country to Ghana! Yes, small world we live in indeed! So, she is very familiar with the area there. Again, something comforting about that and working with her.
God works in mysterious ways. The way he orchestrates the paths we take in our lives is mind boggling and incredibly fascinating at the same time.
A couple more pending documents and Heather will be able to write up & complete our Home Study. The end is near in sight (for this part of the process, that is). :)
