Long over due update

In September we decided it would be best for us to change agencies so....we did. Our case was closed with our old agency on 9/20 and then we quickly started the process to get re-licensed. We completed a few agency specific classes, did our FBI finger prints again and filled out the paperwork. The bright side was that we didn't have to do PRIDE again :).

We had our first home study visit on 11/8, our second HS visit on 11/10 and hopefully our final one will be this Friday 11/18.

 The total hours spent with the contractor so far is 5.5 hours....but thankfully she has made us feel SO comfortable to talk to. We have had the BEST experience with this agency so far so regardless the outcome, we know we made the right decision.

The big differences between before and now is that we have a lot more standards to follow since we are getting licensed to Foster to Adopt but the advantage to that is that we will have many more opportunities coming our way.

On another note...I was recommended a book by a friend entitled "The Kid" by Dan Savage. I've read the reviews and it sounds like something I'd become obsessed about!  I must put this on my "books to read" list!
