Home Visit #1 - Done!

Home Visit # 1 in done! Yahoo! We spent about 2 hours with Katie, our Social Worker, early this evening. She was very nice and did an individual interview with every member of our household, a couple interview and then a walk through of our home. She answered a few of our questions, clarified some paperwork and set up an appointment for her next visit....August 19th. Until then, Dave & Vicki have LOTS of reading assignments to take care of and just a few final pieces of paperwork.

Katie shared with us that the most likely reason our final Home Study paperwork might take a while would be our Child Abuse clearance from the State of Ohio, simply because it takes a while. Would you please pray specifically that this paperwork would be done ASAP? Thanks! We need our final Home Study paperwork done in order to apply for Adoption Grants and would really like to get the Grant paperwork process started soon (well, except that means we're just filling out more paperwork....again.....).

After the Home Study, our family enjoyed some ice cream together and then went to church to set up for the Pancake Breakfast fundraiser tomorrow. We were able to get everything as ready as possible for it and can't wait to see everyone tomorrow morning! If you're in the area......feel free to come and have some breakfast with us!
