Update on Follow Up

I spoke with our social worker yesterday, and she still didn't have any leads.  So I decided to email Adoption Share and ask them some questions.  I was very pleased with their quick response and their answers so after I shared the info with Skeeter we have decided to go ahead and become members with Adoption-Share to help expand our looking and give birth mothers more options as well.  However, one of my concerns was whether or not we'd need to work through a different social worker and thankfully I can pass along our social worker's info so that she will be contacted.  No one will be in direct contact with us (for instance if a birth mother sees our portfolio and is interested, she will need to contact our social worker or her social worker will need to contact our social worker).  It helps keep things much more private and safe, etc.

As you know, the homestudy getting done, has been a HUGE ordeal.  Since we weren't getting anywhere with our social worker, I decided to contact the social worker who is going to be writing it anyway and her goal is to get it written today.  She will be emailing me some questions that need to be answered to help her get it done more quickly, so I will be working on getting those done ASAP today so she can have them back.  Our homestudy is only good for a year so since our fingerprints and background checks were done last September/October, we will need to re-evaluate what needs to be done around August.

Please pray with us that she will be able to get the homestudy done today and that we will have clear guidance and peace as we join in with Adoption-Share.  I have no idea how long it takes to be approved as members, but we do hope to at least start the whole process as soon as I receive word back that the homestudy has been completed.
