Yesterday we had our last visit (well last visit until we have to do our post-placement visits) with our social worker (L). L came out to our house so we could fill out a "home safety form" for our agency. I thought a home safety form would have actual safety questions on it. I though we were going to be making sure all our smoke detectors worked and all our windows had some sort of child safety feature on them. I thought we would be going thru our house talking about where we need to do a little child proofing and what our plan is to child proof our house. It was nothing like that. We sat at the dining room table eating cookies, drinking coffee and making fun of the questions on the home safety form. One of the questions was "Do all of the bathrooms have enough toilet paper and soap". HA. There were a few other questions that were pretty funny, like is there food stored in our refrigerator, but that one takes the cake.
Hopefully our home study will be written this week and we will be able to submit it to our agency for final approval. Once we have final approval we can send our home study in for USCIS approval...again. While we are waiting for CIS approval i have to get a few more documents together for our dossier. Once we have all those together they will be notarized, state certified and then off to the China consulate to be certified and then translated and then off to China! My goal is to have our dossier logged in China by February 1st.
