First Homestudy meeting

We had our first homestudy meeting yesterday - at the agency. We answered lots of questions about our relationship, our families, our parenting style, etc. It gave us a lot of things to think about before we meet again. She estimated the process to be around six week long from this meeting and then we will have to write our Dear Birthmother letter - after we write the letter, we should be officially "waiting" (maybe late October?). The social worker is coming to our house on September 19 - so we will busy ourselves mostly with cleaning and organizing and a few other small projects - two weeks doesn't leave time to do much else!
