Meet Christine! What a gift and encouragement she has been to both Garrett and I throughout our adoption process so far. Forgive the star coming out of my head- it is really attached to the tree behind us! Ha Ha!
The final step has been completed! Christine's visit was this morning and it went well. She saw our home (Christmas tree is already up), met Dudley, and sat with us for a little under an hour going over final questions and formalities. Now, she is famously posted on our blog with great pride! We couldn't have asked for a better social worker. I have no doubt, but that we will stay in touch throughout the process and long after the move!
Now we wait. Our actual Home Study document has to be filtered through a few different people at FCCA and then it goes to CHSFS for review. Any questions they have get sent to FCCA for updates and then it goes back for final approval. Once that is received, a completed original gets sent to them as well as immigration and us. Our hope (and Christine's), is that CHSFS will have a final draft before Christmas! The best Christmas gift we could ask for!
I'm sure I will say it again, but thank you so much, to all the staff at FCCA! From the random phone calls, to the visits, all the books and resources, and more than anything the time and prayers that you have put into us and our growing family- thank you is not enough.
