So picking up where I left off, we returned with our rug late Tuesday night. Two days later on Thursday, June 26th we took our medical forms to our doctor to have filled out. We needed them as the last piece of the paperwork for the first stage of our home study. Then on Friday morning, Justin and I were back on the train and headed for downtown Chicago for an amazing weekend. Our friends, Bridget and Jordan, were married that weekend. We took a cruise out on Lake Michigan and through the City; jogged on Lake Shore Drive; attended church at one of Willow Creek’s satellite churches; walked through the Taste of Chicago; attended a beautiful wedding and fabulous reception at the Contemporary Art Museum. We took the train home Sunday night and had to have our house ready for the home visit the very next morning – June 30th.
The home visit was obviously at our home (duh!). Carole came and met with Brady and Madison and spoke with them about their openness to the adoption. She walked through the house checking for things such as fire extinguishers, smoke detectors, medicine and sharp objects out of reach of lil’ ones etc… We are pleased to say that we passed with flying colors. At the end of the visit we went through all of the outstanding documents that we needed in order to send the home study to the state for their approval. We still needed the medical forms, the fingerprint/background check results from DCFS, and our documentation of our adoption education hours.
