Interview Number One!

Today we survived our very first adoption interview. To say that nerves were all kinds of tight before it happened would be a HUGE understatement. I tend to panic before a major event and even more so if the event is really important. All I can say is thank goodness for my husband and sister. Our house was tip top clean and all of the candles were burning. The animals had been given the speech of be on your best behavior. Let me tell you that the cats hammed it up. Then came the time for our amazing licensing worker to come and then the caseworker for V. The purpose of today was to have an informal visit. 


M (the caseworker) was really nice and easy to talk to right away. Matt started the interview answering questions. I was thrown for a loop and loved it right away! We all sat in the living room and chatted about all sorts of things. It was a great time to learn more about V and what he is like.Because we are not his adopted parents I will keep the details very short, but we learned that he is a happy growing child. All we can hope for is the chance to become his forever parents.


So as most of you may be wondering...WHAT NOW? That is still undecided. We will go on October 7th for the formal interview with everyone important to his life and then after that date we will know if they decided that we are the right parents for him.


We are in weird limbo for another week of knowing what our lives will become. Tomorrow is our very first formal interview for sibling group M and M. No matter what outcomes may take place we know that without a doubt we will be parents and that was our goal from the very start. Without a single second thought we would have not made it here without everyone's support and love.


With that little peek into our day all we can really say is that we are closer and closer, just not there yet. Everything is looking really positive!
