adoption themed day

in Adoption
Today was our first appointment with our assigned social worker from Lutheran Child & Family Services.  Everything went well and she was very nice.  I will go again, but by myself on Jan 3rd to talk about myself and my past.  My husband will go on the 7th to do the same.  Then we will meet again together and finally she will be coming out.  I took today off for the meeting and so did my husband so we decided since we were close to downtown(chicago) we would take advantage of the almost 50 degree weather and walk around the city.  When our social worker brought up finger printing and getting the ball rolling with that, my husband checked on his phone for authorized locations and found one downtown we could do immediately today and get it over with before the holidays.  Glad to get it done and out of the way since that is what takes the most time for processing and approval.  We then went out to dinner and came home to our adoption profile magazine thing in our mailbox so we can review and approve it!  What an exciting day! Starting to feel so real!

    That sounds lovely! Did they use the cool new technologically advanced fingerprinting or ink? I went all prepared to get inked up like I did as a kid and it was all on a weird little computer. We live in the future!

    Who is your social worker at LCFS?  We just completed our home study and we LOVED ours!  Good luck to you on your process.
