Last night we had our 12 month post placement visit. Our report is due March 4th so our social worker came a little early to have time to write up the report. Since our wait was 5 plus years, we had to meet with our social worker many times so she could update our homestudy. I think we now know as much about her as she does us.
So that is it. We are done. We have nothing to update, file, (well, taxes) mail, send, overnight. Done. This was our last task in the adoption process. Honestly, I kind of liked checking in with our social worker. It was like she was checking on our progress as parents too. It felt nice for someone to say, good job, your doing great. I guess we all need reinforcements. But, it also a nice feeling to come to the end of this part of our journey. Charlotte is just a natural part of the family now. Adoption is always going to be a part of her story. Her birth family and China will also always be a part of her life, something we have already started to talk to her about and will continue to do so. But for today, she is just our silly beautiful girl!
