Homestudy Visit #2
Wednesday was our second homestudy visit with the social worker, and this time it was a grilling! We had previously filled out very long, detailed questionnaires about our past and present - growing up life, relationships, how we deal with conflict in our marriage, some about our parenting, etc. This visit was basically the social worker meeting with us each individually to go over our answers in detail.
It was a rather grueling evening. But in the end I asked her if she had any concerns about recommending us for adoption, and she said, "No, not at all." Whew!
Monday is the final visit with one more questionnaire to fill out. She said this one will focus on the present - our marriage and family life now.
On another note, today was my physical exam for the adoption (Jess's was last week). This is to verify that we're healthy and have no physical reasons why we couldn't raise a child. We weren't able to see our regular doctor for these, but the guy we got was very cool about the whole thing. He's done adoption physicals before and knows how picky China is about the paperwork, so he made sure to do it right!
