The final piece of our homestudy, the home visit is complete!  It was a breeze, she looked around, reviewed some things, and we watched a video that made me cry. The video was about the connection between a birthmother and her child.

As I watched I could feel those old familiar feelings of grief, and loss, and longing.  I wondered if we’d ever find someone brave enough and strong enough to overcome all that and actually make us parents. I can definately empathize with a birth mother from the comfort of my living room but i can’t help but wonder how I hold it together when an actually baby enters the picture.

Speaking of babies, we recieved our approval as the social worker left today.  We’re one big step closer to becoming parents. We’re off to help Thor’s dad with the ethnic festival at the Durham. Thor and I are flying high it’s soo great to be done! My SIL told me that my MIL says she’ll be over at the house every week once we have our child, I’m happy and curious about that one. My parents came by the festival too.  It was a great great night of family, entertainment, and shopping.
