Home Study Update Update

Laura, our social worker, visited yesterday for our home study update. It went well, despite a morning freak-out by me when I thought none of our smoke detectors worked. Tanna came home from work earlier than planned with new ones. He got one of them installed upstairs and then realized that the other(s) were in working order after all. Oooops. :o) Of course, I can laugh about it now, but it sure wasn't funny Wednesday morning.

After asking several questions about our new residence--including an inquiry about working smoke detectors on all floors ;o)--Laura took the tour and was soon on her way. She said our home study update should be ready next week. I hope our legals are in by then so we can move forward with the I-600, as we need both the home study update and the legals to proceed. It's been five weeks today since our referral acceptance--so come on, legals! What are you waiting for?
