Home Study Approved!

Our social worker sent our HS off to Holt on Friday, and they already approved it. They said it looked great, so now once our SW notarizes it, she'll send us a copy. Now we can move forward with grant and loan applications. Please pray for us as we do some serious fund-raising. It's exciting to have one big thing done!

They need to know what?

It's amazing the information you need to reveal when you go through the adoption process. Our SW knows our life stories, including the names of our siblings' children, how much money we make, and what we eat for dinner. Well, not that, but you get the idea. We thought we had already laid it all out on the line, but we just got an email from our SW saying that we need to provide DCFS with a monthly breakdown of expenses, including what we spend on things like utilities, clothing, and family fun!! I just can't believe the level of detail they need about our lives. I didn't think there was much more that we could tell, but apparently there is!
