Home Visit...

We had our home visit yesterday!  Sheila came by in the morning and spent about an hour with us.  She was very relaxed and personable.  We sat down to review the paperwork we had completed thus far, and we got her the few things that were still missing, like a copy of our 10-40 tax form.  She then took a full tour of our home, to ensure it's a safe environment.  She also gave us our Home Study Guideline Questions.  These are the questions we have to answer before she can write up our official home study report.  The list of questions is extensive--every question you could ever think to ask a person, starting with how we were raised.  Other adoptive parents have told us that their answers came to 14 typed pages each.  We better get started!
