I got word yesterday that our social worker was done with the home study. She mailed it over to CCAI so they can start working on getting it reviewed and approved by the Adoption Alliance group.

It was certainly an interesting process. I had reservations about letting a perfect stranger scrutinize our lives. She did a good job of making us comfortable with the whole thing. Mollie really thinks of her almost as a friend. It did help that she went through the adoption process herself and was familiar with the associated tribulations and angst that come with this process.

As a result, we are starting to send the paper work that we can to go through the sealing process. This is a process that validates the authenticity of the documents being presented to the Chinese government. It is quite involved an intricate, and it has Mollie a little worried. It's certainly going to be fascinating to look at how quickly the stack of paper grows.

So the adventure continues, even after the very good news about my new job.

Out of my mind...: Home Study Done
