Today was our first home study appointment. From the moment Bob walked in the door, he put us at ease. He was laid back, kind, and very easy to talk to. He explained to us that he is here to help us achieve our dream of adopting internationally, not to judge us or scrutinize. That helped us relax and just enjoy talking to him, learning from him and asking questions.
He met the kids immediately, who greeted him at the door with much enthusiasm. He got down on their level and just chatted with them for a few minutes. Eventually they ran upstairs to play and we sat and talked for almost two hours. It didn't seem that long at all. There were a lot of questions about our childhood, our parents and siblings, and why we want to adopt.
I was encouraged, and felt like he was on our side.
