Well, somehow another year has passed since we were first approved for adoption. It's been two whole years since we did our original homestudy and under VA state law we have to update it every year. Unfortunately I'm getting pretty good at gathering the documents they need: child abuse clearances, DMV driving records, FBI fingerprinting, employment letters, medical physicals, tax returns, financial plans, and on and on...We also had to have our agency social worker come out to the house to check in and meet with us. We discussed with her how we haven't told Auden about Grant yet and thought about how we should handle it. We agreed that we should start generally teaching him about the concept of adoption- how some parents can have a child that didn't grow in the mommy's tummy, rather another woman's tummy. So we are going to research some good books for kids that can help with this. Then when we do decide to tell him about Grant he can hopefully understand it a little better.
We hope and pray that this is our last and final homestudy update before Grant comes home.
