We officially had our "In Home" study. It went very well as far as I could tell. I was extremely proud for Hannah, Aidan, and Julian. They all minded their manners and participated in the discussions. They asked many good questions and even had what I describe as "dictionary type" answers when they were asked to answer questions. It was so nice to see them excited and involved in our adoption process. I think our social worker was surprised that they raised their hands for permission from her to talk or answer a question. I have to say that I surely didn't expect them to to do that. (St. Elizabeth School is doing a fine job at teaching my children so many great things...including raising your hand to talk!!)
We now have one last meeting next Monday. (October 27th) Sean and I will go to the office of Bethany Christian Services for that meeting. Once the meeting is over our dossier will be sent to the main office of Bethany Christian Services. From there the dossier will be sent on to Lithuania!! It is so exciting. I can't wait for it to arrive in Lithuania. Hopefully, the approval from Lithuania won't take too long. Once we get the final approval from Lithuania I think I will feel more at peace that Justina is really going to be pat of our family.
Should anything exciting happen between now and our next home study date I will post it. Otherwise, I will let you all know how the final home study meeting went.
Say lots of prayers for us and have a great week!!
April :)
