First S.W. visit

The process is actually happening and our CFS S.W. just confirmed this. In all, we kept fighting for the little person, holding out hope that we would get her, but incredibly frustrated from such a lengthy process.. We have shed more tears and sweat for this little girl that we could have imagined, this little person which whom we have never met..

So, the S.W. came over and she was awesome! On our side with everything and explaining to use that she will be our advocate, this after hearing our stories of our horrible S.W. in Ontario. Anyways, she got us to sign ALOT of papers, and I mean alot! I do labour and delivery notes and those are alot, this was nothing compared to that! Our wrists were throbbing from all our signatures, well worth it though!! She also did an initial walk through of our house and was very pleased we only had a few things to do; get more smoke detectors, a carbon monoxide detector and to place all our vitamins, medications in a locked box. Also, we have to do a fire evacuation plan, which I think every home should have! This process is really opening our eyes to safety issues that we never discussed as a family and should! Pax now knows her exits from the house and where to go and even a back up plan, I am soo proud of her!

Things that need to be done; medical reference check from our doctor, 3 references to fill out a questionnaire on our life/parenting skills, complete the last minute stuff for the home study and finally the home study! With all this being said, there is talk of doing the critical stuff and leaving the home study until after baby C is here, along with training courses. And we are STILL waiting for the police checks to arrive!
