Caseworker

So we officially have a caseworker for our adoption!! It is very exciting! We had turned in our application last week and got a letter this weekend from Bethany letting us know who our caseworker is that would be contacting us for our homestudy. So we're hoping things go quickly from this point forward. We will still have to do our PRIDE training, which will be interesting given our different schedules. The next training offered at BCS is on the 15th and 22nd of May which would be great because it is so close, but the 15th is the first day of my class this summer urgh. But they are really good about letting people take the PRIDE training at different places, so we'll have to get a really good schedule of all the trainings in the area so that we can find something really soon! After our PRIDE training and homestudy we'll be done with that stuff. Luckily we live in an apartment that already has a lot of the stuff done, we've got the carbon monoxide detectors, the smoke detectors, the adequate room space for a child, and adequate space for play. Plus right outside our building is a kids play set and volleyball court, there are also a TON of kids within our little community. Which makes this a pretty nice area for a kid. On another plus side they said at our orientation that there had been a backlog at Lansing for processing applications, but currently they are up to speed and getting through applications quickly! so yay for us! Just thought I'd give you all an update, so looking forward to this continued movement forward!

  1. You better be careful; I hear that if there's no toothbrush holder (or even worse, a broken one), that there's some serious scrutiny thrown your way... ;)
