WOW! The interview went great. Thank you for your prayers. We were interviewed together and were basically asked questions based on our application answers. They scheduled our Home Study (which means we're IN and ACCEPTED ~ WOO HOO) for FEBRUARY 18, that's SUPER SOON!! AAAAhhhhh we have so much to do before then. We left with a ton of forms: Forms for us, forms for references, forms for fingerprinting, forms for doctors, budget, and on and on the list goes. We have to have physicals, blood tests for HIV, TB test, and a urine drug test. We have an additional stack of questions to answer as well...questions that require a lot of thought and shouldn't be rushed. We also have a lot of work to do in our house to prep for the home study. He gave us the check list he uses for the home study, so we'll know exactly what needs to be done. We'll be the safest house around when this is all over! :)
I am very thankful to be staying home and for the time to accomplish these tasks ~ thank you Lord! Progress on the Life Book is on hold until the Home Study is over I guess... but I am working really hard on it in my head! A HUGE SHOUT OUT and thanks to our Awesome Lifegroup that gave us a $50 Hobby Lobby gift card to buy the supplies for our Life Book ~ I love you guys!!!
The home study on Feb. 18 should last 4-5 hours. We will for sure be interviewed separately then.
I thought this was funny ~ they even want our cat's vaccination records...now I have to make a trip to the vet with Daisy...NOT FUN...anybody want a cat? ;)
Since we came home I have been running around the house non-stop, my mind is spinning...I am officially NESTING!
So I guess our prayer requests are that we can accomplish these tasks smoothly and quickly...and of course for our baby.
Lots of love ~ Rachel
I am so happy for you both and your baby!!!
ReplyDeleteWhoo! Whoo! Thank you Lord...
This IS moving fast! Praise the Lord!! This is going to be one loved baby....we've been waiting with you and are excited with you!
ReplyDeleteHonestly, I can not help but laugh. As you may remember, we told you that we had to put our knifes in a "safe place", so we had to have them locked up on a high surface. The medication was behind a locked door, we had a fire extingisher in the kitchen and in the laundry room and a first aid kit in the house. We had "emergency exits" posted by the doors in the home and had the emergency numbers near the phone. So when you say, "safe home" believe me, we understand and feel your pain... :)
