Yesterday we had our first Home Study visit. Through some misunderstanding on my part, I had it in my head that the social worker was coming here to our home. So of course I've been cleaning like crazy this week and we rushed to get some pictures on the wall that we haven't put back up since I painted the living room. And then when she was "late", i called her and she was expecting us to come there. Thank God she lives close, so we rushed over there and finally got to meet. All went well and it's feeling much easier this time around....using our first Home Study, it makes it a little less difficult since so much is the same as it was during our first Home Study in 2006/2007.
We were very encouraged to hear some things that have been happening kind of behind the scenes, regarding the orphanage where Jivenson is living and things we can do to ensure he comes home in a timely manner. We feel so amazed at how God has brought people into our lives during this first part of the journey and how He has orchestrated relationships and connections with others to do something so wonderful!
We should be done the Home Study before the end of this month and it should get written up and completed sometime in December. We were really hoping it would at least be done before we travel in Jan, and it will be:) We can't wait!
