Final Home Study Visit is Over!

Saturday, October 18, 2008

We just now completed our final home study visit and I believe that we have passed. Our emergency numbers are posted, our evacuation plan is on display, guns are all locked up, and all of our toxic waste has been properly disposed.

Special thanks to our special neighbors Janet and Gregg who loaned us their vacuum cleaner when ours died out unexpectedly this morning. They live in Alaska part time so they don't even know it yet - thanks guys!

Now our social worker Tricia is going to put together the reports she generated during our three visits together and write the official Home Study Report. This report is submitted locally to the court and is translated into Mandarin and sent to China. It is the first of three major steps in the Shania Project. Home Study, Dossier, and I-800 USCIS. One down and two to go!

Thank you to everyone who has been thinking of us and praying for us today. Words can't fully express our gratitude.

congratulations on having the HS visits done! a relief huh?!

I came across your blog after visiting Cindy Foote's and saw your comment..and then I saw your blog and saw your link to EVBC. We go there! maybe you've seen us around -you can check out our blog and see if we look familiar. :)

If you ever need the support of someone local who's "been there done that" just email me..the link to my email should be on my blog profile. :)
