Wahoo! All our paperwork is completed and turned in for the home study. It seemed a little overwhelming there at the end, but we made a final push and it is done. We met on Wednesday morning with our social worker for the third meeting. This one was about our parenting styles and things to expect with an adoption. My heart hurts for our Peanut and the circumstances that have brought him/her to this point. Parenting an adopted child will be different. Joey and I will need to think differently and adapt our style to Peanut's needs. This whole thing is a little scary to me, and I know that it will also be a scary and anxious time for Peanut. Michelle described it this way...short term trauma for long term benefit. As we wait for the next task to complete, I am praying for God to prepare our hearts for this child and to prepare Peanut's heart for this new family.
Our next big date is April 19th when we will have our FINAL home study meeting!!
