the Tell-All Chapter.

 

Do you ever feel like you have "that friend" who just knows every little thing about you?


And I don't just mean they know your favorite color, food or choice of music. I mean everything...

...They know your past, they know your childhood, they know where you went to school and why. They know your parents' names, what they do for a living. They know your sibling's names and what they do for a living. They know what activities you did when you were a kid. They know what activities you do now. They know how you were punished as a child. They know if you have a criminal or drug record. They know if you rent your home or own your home. They know if you paid your taxes. They know if you have a gun or not. They know if you have a clean back yard. They know if your dogs got their shots or not. They know how many pets you have...

They know where you work, and how much money you make. They know what your after-work activities are. They know who feeds the dogs in the morning. They know who cooks the meals in your home. They know who pays the bills. They know what kind of car you own and if it's registered...
They know you're future hopes and dreams. They know your personality likes and dislikes.
They know what age kids you want. They know what part your family plays in your life. They know if you even talk to your family or not.

They know your bank records. How much money you have in IRAs and savings and your checking account. They know what your house looks like. They know what is in every drawer and cupboard in your home. They know what kind of food you buy and what the inside of your fridge looks like.
They know where you work and what hours you work. They know where the closet park is to your home. They know where the closest schools are.
They know what your finger prints look like. They know if you've been cleared by the FBI or not. They know if you allow strange people to sleep in your home over night. They know who your emergency contacts are. They know all your phone numbers. They know if you have ever lived out of State. They know if you ever plan on moving out of State.

Ever have a friend like that??

Well apparently we do.

And that friend decides when and how and why we should be able to Foster/Adopt from LA County.

 

Can you tell we had a 4 hour meeting with our Social Worker last weekend? My head is spinning.

ohhhh, LA.

I saw our File sitting there on the interview table. It would make a very thorough Tell-All book if there ever was one!

waiting for Matt to be done with his private interrogation.
 I mean interview.

So, now you're wondering...

UPDATE:

Our Home Study is almost done! One more quick home inspection from our CSW and then the paperwork will be passed to her Supervisor. After our paper work is approved, we will then be open for receiving "a match".
Upon finding this match, Matt and I will receive a phone call and be set up for a meeting with the child's Social Worker to discuss personality traits, medical history, etc.

This "matching" part could take days, weeks, months or years.

Only God knows!
