I had my visit with our social worker and it went well. In our stack of paperwork to fill out in our application there was one called an individual assessment, and Joe and I both had to fill it out, well in our individual visits it basically covering all of those questions, but talking about them instead of writing it out.
It starts out with how was your parents relationship when you were growing up, and how is it now. How was your relationship with your siblings then, and now. I had to talk about each of my siblings, and about my parents. I talked about what I was like as a child. She asked me what she would see if she could turn back time, and meet me as a little girl! lol That was hard to answer.
At the very end she asked if there was anything we missed. I said I didn't think so. I was pretty sure we had covered it all, but still I really wanted to come up with something else to tell her. I sat racking my mind, for what felt like hours, but I came up blank. So we left it at that.
In the middle of the meeting it started to get really warm in the room we were in and I could feel my face turning red, and maybe even a little wet with sweat. Thinking about it made it even worse and for a couple minutes that is all I could think about.
When the meeting was done, I was sad because I wanted to have more to talk about. It was nice to have it over with though, and to be out of that super warm room. As soon as I got out to my car I flipped open my phone and was shocked to see what time it was. Our meetings are said to take an hour to an hour and a half. What I saw on my phone was that it was only 45 minutes later! Oh well, I guess my life story is only a 45 minute long story!
