Almost Done!

We have completed our Fire Inspection (after two whole days of cleaning!) and I sent the paperwork in to our CPS worker. We passed of course! (Whew!) The only thing lacking in our file is the background check from the City of Arlington (they are missing several background checks from other applicants as well.) Our worker has decided to go ahead and send our file to a contractor to begin the home study. She told us it will take anywhere from 7-14 days before they assign a contractor, but once that is done, we will be contacted about our home visit. I am not sure what happens after that point of course. I have been told that the next step is the home visit where the contractor will visit our home. I assume this includes a complete evaluation of the home and the space we have set up for the children we will be fostering. I assume this also includes an in-depth interview with Patrick and I, but beyond that we are still a little in the dark about the process.

The nursery is coming along nicely. We FINALLY got the crib assembled. It has been an interesting road from the day we started moving furniture out of that room. I will post some photos once the room is done. Patrick and I are really excited to see the room coming together!

Once we know more about the home visit and the complete home study process, we will post more.

In the mean time, thank you again for your support and prayers!
