Well, i have been lurking here for a while and since tomorrow is our first home study I thought that it would be a perfect time to say hello and to see if maybe I could get some tips or hints on what to expect!!

    Welcome! What kind of adoption are you doing? It is a breeze. We had our home study last week and it was so easy.  She just asked us some questions about our families, our neighborhood and how we plan to parent.  Nothing was unexpected.

    Hi, and welcome.

    To be honest, I've had tougher job interviews than my homestudy--but maybe that's just because I wear my heart on my sleeve, so talking about my family was a breeze and a pleasure!  Really, don't stress yourself out.  It's not an inspection so much as a "getting to know you."  As long as there are no skeletons in your closets (pun intended), you should do just fine!

    Good luck (not that you'll need it), and come back tomorrow to let us all know how it went!

    Welcome and good luck!! Our home visit was really laid back. Our social worker just looked in the rooms and asked us how old the house was and all .... that was it. The rest of the time we talked. She didn't open cabinets, or check the fridge, she didn't even walk into the rooms lol. She just peeked in!
