We're done with our home study! Amy, our social worker, just left our home a few minutes ago. We were surprised to find that the experience was actually pretty enjoyable.
Several weeks ago, we had our first meeting in Orlando. It was a group orientation meeting with several other couples adopting through America World. Amy used this time to get to know us, and also introduced us to topics we'll continue to study such as attachment, and what it will be like to bring our child home.
Last Wednesday was our second visit. For this one, Amy came to our home. She took a brief look around (all that cleaning for a brief glance in each room!), and then the three of us talked in the living room. She asked us questions like: how we had decided to adopt from Russia, how our families felt about it, how we planned to discipline, etc. We had already discussed all of these things, so it was easy to tell her about it. It only lasted about an hour.
Today was her last visit. This time, she talked to Ben and me separately (it counts as visits 3 and 4). She asked us questions about our families, how we grew up, our personalities, what we liked about each other, and how we thought life would change after we have a child. Again, not too hard. (But don't you always hate the question: "Tell me about yourself. What do you like? What are your strengths?" Arrgh! So hard!) Again, she was only here a little over an hour.
So now, she will type up a 12-page home study report summarizing her visits. She said she should have it done in about two weeks. There are a few other documents she will need to sign for us as well. Once that's all done, we'll be ready to send everything to Russia!

Ben & Melissa-
We are so excited for you guys. I can't believe how quickly you've flown through the application and homestudy process. What a blessing! Thanks for visiting our blog & thanks for praying for us!
Love,
Rachel
