We got to have the third visit on my birthday.
Exciting times, and I was more than happy to get to complete part of this process on my 32nd birthday!
Started with the home inspection. That went well, showed Lori (social worker) the room that will later be the baby room (complete with baby onesie from J.D. and Andrea hanging on wall! She loved it!). Took her on brief tour of the backyard. Only thing to be fixed I think is getting a lock for the hot tub making it child-proof. Which we need to do anyways.
Visit with Richard was first, he got to do his in depth conversation with her. I took Brett and Wyatt out to lunch with Brendan while Lori and Richard stayed here to chat.
When I returned home, after picking Matthew up from school, she spoke with the kids a bit. Got answers from Brett like "the new baby can sleep in the crib with Wyatt." It went well :)
And then chats with me & Richard together. How we parent. How we will handle 4 children. Watched how we interact together. And how we handle kids fighting, since of course an argument happened between the boys over lego pieces...
And then she left!
3 hours today, it went well.
Waiting on the Dept of Justice fingerprints (other ones already came through, child abuse ones and FBI!), the rest of our financial statements, and doctor forms for us (need to make that appt).
