Faithfully Forming our Family: Progress

4/5/10

Progress

We are happy to report that we received our home study this afternoon!!! I have to say, it is really strange to read a huge report about yourself.

Technically, the copy we received today is just a draft. Our social worker wants us to read through and note any corrections that she needs to make. Once we email her back, she'll modify the report and give us our final "official" copies to send to USCIS.

We're finally making some progress again!!
