I'm feeling better about the adoption process starting, but I am still a ball of nerves! Our adoption specialist will be coming to our house at the end of the month and I'm trying to get things done that I know will be required for the homestudy. Things like carbon monoxide alarm, locks on cupboards, locks for medicine, etc.
Well turns out that being as Rowan has been old enough to listen and she knows, when Tarah and I attempted to put on the locks on the cupboards it was a hilarious nightmare. Not only did we loose ten thousand screws, but neither one of us could figure out what the sticky tape was for or which direction to screw in the pieces or where. Oy! We finally figured out part of it and got one piece screwed in and was matching up the little clicky thing that you push on to open the cupboard, to only find out that the locks won't work because of an overhang from my kitchen sink!! After all the threats of throwing screwdrivers and digging for screws - we couldn't even use those safety locks!!
I'd like to say it was a learning experience, but we all know it was just full of frustration and giggles.
Needless to say, I must go to Target and find some other locks. go figure. isn't that how my life always works out?
We have had so many appointments between doctors, dentists, dance and everything else that I have been too busy to even think about our first home visit. A blessing? I think so. Although when the time comes I know I will get that knot in my stomach and be thinking, what is she going to say about this or that?
The good thing is, she's super nice. And I keep telling myself what they told me at the information meeting "we try to find ways for more people to qualify to adopt, not ways that they don't qualify" YAY!
Makes total sense to me. Duh, why wouldn't they?!
maybe i can keep repeating it, like a mantra. :)
