Final Homestudy Visit

We had our final homestudy visit with our social worker on Monday. It went very well. This visit was for her to interview us one more time and to view our home to make sure that it would be a safe and happy home for another child. The social worker was very nice and made us feel very comfortable. The visit lasted for an hour and a half. There are just a few more pieces of paperwork that are needed to be completed and then she can write up the homestudy report. After she does that we will get a rough draft to review and so will the missionaries in Taiwan that are helping us to adopt a baby. After we ok everything, the social worker will send the final draft of the homestudy to DHS in our state for approval. From there it will be sent to the US Immigration office on Memphis, Tennessee. We hope to be filing our immigration paperwork within the next few weeks. Once that is filed and they receive our approved homestudy and our FBI fingerprints, they will issue us the 171H. This is the form that will be needed when we travel to Taiwan. Without this piece of paper, our baby will not be able to get a visa to come to the US. Please pray that all of this goes smoothly and without any glitches.
