No Need to Worry
Don't worry about the social worker. Ours was wonderful!
The social worker will not be checking on your son's potty training. The focus is on the overall functioning of the family. Are you a good parent? What are your plans for the adopted child? What is your plan for caring for, educating, and disciplining the child? Is your home spacious enough for another child? What type of neighborhood do you live in? Will the residents be accepting of a multi-cultural family? Are there friends or family members available to help with the child?
Don't be concerned about having a spotless home. (I cleaned for days and my social worker never appeared to be looking closely!)
The paperchase is annoying but if you are organized, you should have no problems. Just remember to document every step and check off items according to your agency's guidelines. Don't be afraid to ask questions.
Best wishes!!!
My husband and I are hoping to be DTC in May.
