Hi Guatemala forum friends. We’re in the midst of the paper chase for our next adoption, which will be from Nepal this time. Oh, how I missed this crazy rollercoaster ride. OK, actually…Not!

We have the first interview with our social worker for our homestudy next week. And I am SOOOOOOOOO strressed. Do you guys have any advice?! Before we were a childless couple, but now they’ll be scrutinizing our parenting skills. Or lack there of. DH and I are “seasoned” parents, as in age, but in fact we’re actually total rookies as parents. We basically wing it most of the time. Sabrina doesn’t seem to suffer from it. But then, she’s a trooper. DH and I just spent tonight having a tea party with her, and her stuffed animals. Hopefully the social worker will find that amusing.

The gist of it is….I have spent so many years trying to be a mother, and knowing that someone is going to judge whether or not I CAN have another child or not, well really scares me. Any advice to share?! Or funny stories about your home study experiences?! Would really love to hear them. Thanks guys!

p.s. As always, praying for everyone in this crazy process.
