First Meeting

Travis and I met with our social worker for the first time last night to begin our home study.  We were very anxious to get it started, but nervous about how it would go and what she would think of us.  Thankfully, it went very very well!  Our social worker is pretty laid-back, so it was very easy to share with her.  We will meet with her again in 2 weeks. Hopefully by then we have all of our reference letters and other paperwork ready to be sent in to the facilitator who is organizing our adoption.  It's a baby step, but we are that much closer to meeting our baby!

Our social worker and many other people who have been through the adoption process have told us to get the word out to as many people as we can that we are adopting.  Since we are doing a private/independent adoption, it's up to us to advertise ourselves as adoptive parents to our friends and family in order to find a birth family.  I ask that any and all of you who are reading this will keep us in mind if you know of someone who is thinking of giving their child up for adoption.  We would love to meet/chat with them!
