Adoption Interviews

So Adrienne and I each had our individual interviews with our case worker this week. It was mostly along the lines of a "getting to know you" session. I am amazed at how long my background check is taking. Adrienne's came back in just 2-3 weeks, while mine has been out around 10 weeks with no response. I wonder what the hold up is.

At the end of my interview I asked about things that we can do to prepare ourselves for the home inspection. She mentioned things like outlet covers, carbon monoxide detectors, safety gates, cabinet latches, a fire extinguisher, etc. She asked if we had a fence around our yard and I was surprised how concerned she seemed when I said we didn't. I had never seen that as a problem since we wouldn't leave small children unattended. Eventually we will have a fence, but we are waiting for 2 of the neighboring houses to have owners so that we can all split the cost.

We're excited that Adrienne's family is coming to visit this next week. They are coming up Saturday and staying through the next weekend. While they are here we are going to our new niece's baby blessing and celebrating a couple of family birthdays. Should be great. I hope that my sister can come down from University of Utah and spend some time with us too. I haven't seen her in quite some time, but I know she's busy.
