One Home Study Visit done!

Yesterday was our first home study visit.  By the sounds of it, it went really well!  We found it hard to answer a few of the questions, such as "what are the weaknesses of your marriage".  We didn't want to come across like we have a perfect marriage, but we couldn't think of many things to say.  Both Adam and I are soft hearted, slow to anger type of people and when we have disagreements, we usually find a compromise.  We have never had one of those huge blow up type of fights.  Actually, we have never had a fight.

The social worker told me that stay at home moms, and christian faith are things that birth mothers gravitate to.  So I have that in my favor!  The only thing that caused some concern on our part, is the fact that it's the law that the child be vaccinated according to the vaccination schedule.  My kids have only had just a few of the vaccinations, and we weren't planning on getting anymore.  It looks like if we want to adopt, we will have to follow the rules by doing the vaccinations.  It is a bummer.  But we are willing to if it means being able to go through with the adoption.

Our next visit is July 1, so keep us in prayer!  The next visit is the visit where the social worker will interview the kids.   Hopefully she can get Anna to talk!  She is such a shy girl.

In other news....I won the crocs! I tweeted, and tweeted, and tweeted, left comment after comment, and it paid off!  Now I just need to decide which pair I want.

Do I get the sandals for the summer...

Or do I get a pair that I can wear year round?

I can't decide! I love them both.  What would you do?

I have been able to finish a few blogs recently, and they have turned out pretty nice!  I finished a blog for Photo Gem , Family Travel Suite , and I am almost finished with Five Arrows.  After finishing up with Five Arrows, my waiting list is now empty!  If you know someone who needs a blog design, or would love to help me out by just spreading the word about how I am trying to raise funds for our adoption, it would be a huge blessing.   If you have any questions, email me at Ali at missionfielddesigns dot com (gotta stop those bots from getting my email).
