After countless pages of paperwork, hours of interviews and weeks of waiting, we're finally official. We received word that our home study is done, which means we can legally adopt a baby. Now, we just need to find a baby!
Aside from the tediousness of some of the paperwork, the home study process was actually a really rewarding experience. Hubby and I have always been great communicators, but some of the topics that came up because of the home study sparked interesting and meaningful conversations between the two of us. It was reassuring to know how alike we are when it comes to the really important things like morals and values, and the kind of parents we want to be.
Now that we're official, I find my patience wearing thinner than I'd like. It's hard knowing we could legally bring home a little one, but not having a situation available for us. Our facilitator admits it's been quieter than usual, but she's hopeful things will pick up in the coming weeks. If she's hopeful, I'm hopeful.
