Re: First in home meeting

  • It's totally normal to be nervous. But it will be a breeze, I promise. GL and let us know how it goes!
  • Just try and breathe and stay calm as much as possible - easier said than done!  GL and I am sure it will go great!

  • I was nervously anticipating our first home study visit, but it really turned out to be quite relaxed.  It was more like a visit with a new friend and not an inspection.  I'd met our social worker at a meeting prior to the start our home study, and knew she was really nice, so that helped.  I'm sure it'll go fine and I promise they don't dock you if you don't have a plate of freshly-baked cookies. ;)

  • Hope it went well! Our home inspection was a breeze, too. NBD at all!
  • I hope your home study visit went well! We had ours in August and were approved in September. I was very very nervous, too, but in retrospect had nothing to worry about. Our profile and website were finalized in November so now we are just waiting. Our downstairs bathroom renovation was supposed to be completed before the SW came and due to unforeseen circumstances the floor couldn't be completed. Our toilet was being stored in our dining room and that's where it was when the SW came! I was upset about it at the time, but it didn't even matter - she wasn't looking for perfection, she was looking for people that can be good parents!

  • Thanks ladies you were all right. It was very laid back and relaxed. About 45 min and done! She's really nice and we get along with her very well. We should be starting our classes on the 23rd of this month!! So excited!
