Throughout this whole process, I have had the feeling that my FIL has had a lot of reservations compared to everyone else. That being said, he is a very loving person, and I have known him for a long time, so I had no doubt that he wouldn't eventually come around.
Well, today is our home visit, and I just got the sweetest Facebook message from him telling me that we will do fine, and that if he had to pick the parents for any child it would be us. My father is deceased, so I really look up to him as a father figure, and it means a lot to me to have him 100% on board. Feeling very blessed right now, and hopefully (fingers crossed!) the rest of the day will go well also!
