That is awesome! I've been trying to come up with some great wisdom and failed entirely. But, I also think it will be WAY EASIER than you think. Ask about school, ask about sports, talk about yourself and talk about your home. We took a photo book to flip through the pictures and talk about them in addition to the scrapbook that was given to them prior to meeting us. Having pictures to flip through automatically gives you something to talk about.

The other think I wanted to say is that you should kick your social worker under the table next time she's not looking and pretend like it is an accident. That is really mean to put all the pressure on you that there has to be "chemistry" to make the match. Sheesh! Everything is not riding on your first meeting, you just need to get started and get to know them! You're going to do great!
