Home Study visit 1 of 4

Our home study went great last night. The visit was in the office with our social worker. Next week we both meet with her in the office for our single visits, and June 18th we have our last visit with her at our house. After that she writes up our "home study" report, and we are officially waiting.
Last night we started out talking about what we are comfortable with, as far as the birth mom and baby goes. It was a lot of questions like: Are we ok with her smoking? How much smoking? At what point during the pregnancy? and so on. We also talked about what we prefer, like a baby right from the hospital. As well as what we might be open to, like a baby 3 weeks old.. It was hard to say what we are not open to, because that means we could be passing on a baby. :(After we covered all of those questions we moved on to our relationship. She asked us to tell the story of how we met. She asked each of us what makes us a good husband or wife, and also what we think we need to work on. She asked what we think of each other as a parent. She asked if we are we going to make it in our marriage, and how we know. (It kind of felt like therapy, but I liked it. and it was nice hearing Joe's answers) We got about half way through the relationship questions and then we ran out of time.
She asked if we had any questions and we said we didn't. She said that was ok, and that it shows that we have done our research. I broke down after that, and ask THE question! I asked how many families they have waiting and how many birth moms they have right now! I didn't want to ask it, and seem inpatient, but it just came out. We got good news, and bad news. The bad news: They have no birth moms right now. She said they are always really slow in the summer. She did say that she is working with a 15 year old :( but she is not sure if she has made an adoption plan yet. The good news: She has 1 waiting family, and three families that are in the final stages (including us). She said that was really good for us. So if and when a birth mom does come in, in the chance that she is a match for all four of us (not likely), that gives us a 1 in 4 chance of getting that baby! They are going to be holding another set of classes later in the summer, but those couples won't be ready to adopt until the end of the year (if then), so it's looking really good for us to get a match by the end of the year (but we are not getting our hopes up!).
