One last visit!


It is truely hard to believe that I am writing this post. When we were in the thick of Sofia's adoption it seemed as if the days couldn't go by fast enough and every step seemed to take an eternity. I was happy to go to bed at night, knowing that no matter how long it took, we were one day closer. Now that we have Sof home, it is unreal that it is coming up on a whole year that we have been able to kiss her and cuddle her and hold her in our arms (okay, so she's not exactly a great cuddler but we give it our best shot).

From the very beginning, we have had the same social worker guiding us through. She did both of our home study visits during the paperchase, and she has done three post placement visits since Sofia came home. This past Sunday marked our final visit with Angela - our one year post placement.

Everyone always seems to get nervous about having a social worker in their home, and to be honest, we did our fair share of cleaning each time before she came. Angela was always wonderful and we enjoyed every visit with her. She always gave us a lot to think about and talk about, and I really think she enjoyed meeting Sofia when she came home......that must be one of the cooler parts of her job. This last visit was especially fun. We just enjoyed hanging out with each other and watching Sofia do her thing.

So, as we finish up this whole process and tie up all the final loose ends, it really is kind of fun to reflect on all the amazing people who have helped us along the way.

Thanks for everything Angela.
