Do you lovely ladies have any pointers?  Things I should know, things I shouldn't worry about, questions they ask all that jazz?

TIA!! :)

    eeeek!!!! no pointers just be yourself!

     

    and start blogging again :)

    Married on 3.20.2004. It took 30 month, 2 failed adoptions and IVF for our first miracle. We have had 9 foster kids since he was born and started the domestic adoption process when he was 10 month old, we had 4 failed matches in that time. After our daughter was born we brought her home and spent 2 weeks fearing we might lose her because of complications that came up. But Praise God all went through and she is ours forever!

    You'll be fine. I know everyone says this and you can't believe it but ... it really is easier than you imagine it being.

    Good luck!

    I ran around cleaning for the entire week and when my SW came she sat in a chair for most of the visit and looked at the spare room, and had a peak at my granny who was sleeping. So just relax, we expect them to go through our homes with a fine-tooth comb but they usually don't. I know mine didn't. So just relax and try to breathe. You will be fine.  Good luck to you.

    I have the same advice as the other girls.  Relax and be yourself.  It really is a lot easier then your head makes it out to be.  :)  The SW wants to place a child in your home...not keep one out.

    We just started our home visits a couple of weeks ago - and it went fine.  I cleaned and primped and had out snacks and everything.

    My SW laughed (not in a mean way) and thought it was amusing.

    2 years TTC with 5 losses, 1 year recovering, 6 months applying for adoption approval, and almost a year waiting for a placement. Then, a miracle BFP at age 36!
