I couldn't have asked for a better way for everything to turn out tonight.
I went in the day with 2 obstacles to a successful home visit...
1) Aaron ended up adding one more surgery so it was looking like he was not going to make it home on time
2) We had lots of snow today and our hill was getting really icy.... a good chance that our social worker could cancel.
God is so good because it seems like so many times, He allows these obstacles to come our way to see how we would react to it. I purposed in my heart today that no matter what, I would not get stressed... even if it meant that we would have to cancel the home visit.
In the end, the snow subsided and Aaron came home at 6:23pm :) He had 7 minutes to spare!
The same social worker we had before came to visit and it was so easy and short. She thinks she could have the draft ready by first of the year.... she wasn't sure that our criminal checks from Oregon had come back yet, so without that clearnce, she can't do the final draft. If it does, come in, she could potentially have it done by the weekend, but she is also going on vacation for a week starting sunday, so if our criminal check isn't back, she'll have to wait 'till the first of the year. It is all in God's timing and He has really shown His grace to us in this... this IS the GRACE adoption, after all :)
Now, I feel like I can really sit back and enjoy Christmas and not have homestudy on my thoughts. I am so glad this is over. I am so surprised at how nervous I felt prior to our social worker coming over. She made it so easy on us so I had nothing to worry about :)
Good night!
