We have all of our paperwork for our adoption in. Praise the Lord! Well, except for our FBI background check, we are still waiting for that to come in. Now we get to have a social worker come spend at least 6 hours at our house. Everyone who hears this just laughs. Some offer to trade Kellen for a nice, quite little girl. Others just picture the chaos they have witnessed being here only 1 hour. Now I am making it sound like there is complete pandemonium around here. Of course, there is not. But, having 4 young boys does offer up a lot of energy, noise and activity. Which I am used to and have grown quite fond of. Let's just hope this social worker is a mom of at least 1 boy:)
The social worker will fly down from Portland, get in our Honda car that we have left for her at the airport, and come to Malin. That alone could be quite an experience for her. And because the flight schedule in and out of KFalls is not the best, she will spend some time with us in the afternoon, spend the night at a hotel, come back in the morning to finish the visit, and then fly back to Portland that afternoon. Between my 1/2 day of work, football practices for Grady and Connor, Dennis' football practices, and harvest time on the farm this could be a very memorable visit for her.
In the end, I am sure it will go just fine. She will see a crazy, but happy family that is very excited to add another child to the crew.
PS: You may notice my blog background now has Africa in the top right corner. A little dedication to our girl so far away:)
Our social worker made it past all of Cliff's "issues." You guys should be fine! Can I come and just watch?? :)
