Final home study visit

Our final home study visit is complete!  I forgot to ask our social worker permission to post this so I will just block her out ;)

 It feels so wonderful to have crossed that milestone.  One step closer to HSTK (home study to Korea).  HSTK is when all of these months of work are compiled and sent to Korea so we can begin our official count down.

The visit went well.  The sw ask the kid if they were excited about the adoption and the things they would look forward to doing with their new brother or sister which prompted a quick reply from Banana saying, " wait a minute I thought we were getting a brother" LOL.  I reminded him that there was a very small possibility that it could be a girl and we moved forward.  The kids then showed her their rooms and the rest of the house.

The SW did ask if the deer hanging in our basement was in fact a deer. She had a bit of a look of horror on her face and ask J if "he did that". It was pretty amusing. I think when listing the J's hobbies I put fishing and golf since he has not had as much time for hunting lately so maybe she was just surprised.

She then interviewed our two international students and finished off us.

All in all it went very well although she did deliver some pretty disappointing news that the timing of the finalization of the home study would allow for sufficient time to send our I-600A application (next step) in time to get fingerprint appointments for the boys before they return to Korea for the summer.  This would mean a significant delay.

So some investigating I did :) which I will save for another post........
