Update
Just wanted to thank everyone for their answers and send a little update. I was a bundle of nerves but not nearly as much as the kids, within a couple of minutes everyone relaxed and started really talking, they had written a list of questions, the normal kid stuff like can i have a tv in my room (which was great as it gave us a chance to establish that there would be boundaries and rules) and lots of questions about what we do, and where they would be while we both were at work and what the school was like. the meeting was only meant to be an hour but we were there for two before the SW suddenly noticed how long it had been!
so now we wait. apparently the SW is calling thursday to let us know whether she wants to do a second meeting soon, the other plan is to maybe introduce the boys to several families and let them express a preference, at least that is what their SW told our SW was an option (before we interviewed)...which seems like a very odd way to do things, i would think they would see how the first family meeting goes before deciding whether to do it all again (because it must be a really stressful experience for the kids) but she made it sound like the plan really might be to introduce them to several families no matter how the meetings go ... but she also said they need to moved before the end of the school year, so who knows?
Waiting nervously for the phone to ring...
