Ugh!

We had our first adoption interview with the social worker a couple weeks ago.  Talk about stressful!  He is a really nice guy, but it is such a nerve racking situation.  He came to our house to meet us and the kids, then asked us a few questions, then left us with a mountain of paperwork!  We seriously had to fill out autobiographies, a 5 page packet on how we discipline, show love, etc., provide them with 4 references, do a background check, a child abuse and neglect screening, and have two more interviews with the social worker.  We actually can't finalize the adoption until May or June (depending on when the judge considers we've had him in our home long enough) but a step aunt applied for custody of Matthew, so we are covering all of our bases.  The social worker and attorney said the more we can do until the adoption is final the better.  The social worker sent me a text last night and he is ready to do our next interview.  It's crazy that I am so nervous!  He told me we have nothing to worry about, but it is just weird to have someone inspecting every aspect of your life.  Here's to fabulous interviews and referrals!!
