The Joint Interview

We had our Joint Interview this morning! It went well. We met our social worker – Caroline – who is a nice young lady, very polite, etc. Just asked the usual questions about our marriage, how we met, what we expect from our adopted child(?), how our finances are, etc. It took about 45 minutes, and most of it was waiting for Caroline to write down what we had said.

On Tuesday we go for counseling – which is now done at Little Angels Network offices – the same place as our interviews. That is a step up, since the last time we had to drive around a dingy part of town looking for parking, and then wander up a grimy and dirty stairwell to find our counselors office! So the change is definitely a good thing.

Next Thursday I go for my Individual Interview – mostly questions about my own family, and the like. And then the following Tuesday (February 24th), Caroline comes to our house for a “Home Visit”. That is the last of the pre-requisites before our application goes to the LANS Case Committee to be decided upon. (YIPPEE!!)

I’m a bit BUMMED OUT that our appointments are SO spaced out. That sucks. But I am trying to convince myself that even if we had them all done within the next few days, we still might have to wait just as long for the LANS Case Committee to set a meeting date…. Right? Well – let’s see. Fingers crossed!!!
