You poor thing!
I'm so sorry you are so nervous. I was a wreck before our first homestudy, but it's truly not that bad. We've had one foster care homestudy that is updated yearly, and two adoptive homestudies. Traffic tickets and bad checks are nothing. My hubby went to jail when he was 18 for being young and stupid. It had nothing to do with children so they just had him write out a detailed explanation of what happened and how he's changed since then. I was terrified this would stop our foster care license, but it really was no big deal. From everything I read I don't think you have a thing to worry about. I'm sure people have gotten some coldhearted people doing their homestudies, but we've had three wonderful people do ours. Just hang in there and try to remember to breathe, lol. You'll be fine. Congrats on your upcoming adoption. The most important thing is to be honest. Our social worker for the two foster adoptions we did said they are more concerned with people who try to present themselves as perfect than with people who openly admit to mistakes.
