Things Are Just Bopping Along

We saw our social worker on Sunday, 14th October. She told us she would be writing up our file and would hopefully have it done by Saturday. After that it would be sent to our agency and through the hoops over there. From talking to them I knew it would not make it through there until this coming Thursday.

On Saturday night, like clockwork, I received the homestudy via email, for us to go over and confirm all was accurate. We did this and our SW said she would send it on to the agency on Sunday night or Monday morning.

Imagine my surprise, when I received an email on Sunday night from our contract SW with a question that our agency social worker (just to confuse you - we have two social workers; one who was contracted for the homestudy and one who will do all the home legwork at our agency) had sent to her. It was Sunday night! That meant our agency was working on a Sunday!! I was thrilled! We answered the question and sent it back to our agency on Monday morning about 7:30 am. By 8:50 am Monday morning those two social workers had done their job and had finalized our paperwork - about four days ahead of schedule!!!

Then today I received the signature papers that Ray and I, the social worker, and the agency all have to sign. It was mailed from our contract social worker yesterday, got here today, and will be mailed onto the agency social worker tomorrow. That means by Friday we will have our homestudy all signed, sealed and ready to mail!! That puts us about one week ahead of schedule!!
