Home Study Interview Completed Tonight!!

Well...we walked in the back door at 7:30 p.m., as the social worker walked in the front door for our family interview! We had been in DE all afternoon, caught in traffic coming home, and made it just in time to greet her. Caroline surprised us by having a fantastic dinner of curried chicken, basmati rice and chick peas waiting for us. We were starving and it smelled delicious! She also went to great lengths to welcome the social worker, having set out a tray of tea and treats in the living room for her to enjoy as she interviewed us one by one. What a great start to a terrific evening!

The interview was fun, relaxed and flew by. The girls had computer sharing issues downstairs, but never let us know....they waited until AFTER the meeting to air their disagreements. Aaaah, the joy of older children! We were so proud of them for their participation, their genuine enthusiasm and preparation for the night when we really had no way of being here to get the house in order for our guest. She was also a Christian, which made sharing our hearts and faith effortless....so very surprising and refreshing on both sides. We had no idea what to expect.

And now...we move forward on the paper chase, just like everyone else. Here we go!
