The law requires that in an adoption, 4 in home visits from a licenser are completed. Yes, to some, an invasion of privacy!! I guess at first, it was that to me. Lamar, he doesn't care.
These visits are designed to help families and social workers jointly assess strengths and needs in our family setting. All family members living in the house participate.
They collect a ton of paperwork and know us now inside and out!!! Lamar and I discussed it from the beginning and knew that we would ultimately be ok with it for the end result being a baby that needs a loving home.
As of today, we have 1 study complete and the 2nd one is set for Monday the 16th.
Home study #1 was all personal information. Where we were born and raised and everything in between. Funniest question from the first visit was asking about our neighbors and if we had any problems with them??? For those of you that know us well, know we have this huge house by us and it was turned into a rental property. We get the bottom of the barrel moving in and out all of the time, no joke. This time we have a couple with 4 kids and the parents, every Wednesday, are outside yelling at the top of their lungs, you little morons, *#%•*, €¥£^%%, and so on and then when every explicate has been yelled, the say "ok, get in the van, we're going to be late for church!!!!!" ROTFL
