Home Study - Check!

ctbride08

Our home study when a lot quicker and smoother than i expected! there was oddly few questions about parenting/kids/discipline/ect....it was mostly focused on our childhood and experiences growing up.  i understand why, but the past does not always dictate the future, kwim? 

The home inspection itself took no more than 30 minutes and he found no fail-worthy issues, but did suggest a couple things (GFCI outlets in bathroom and rope ladder for emergency exit from 2cd floor).

Lilly was, once again, a rock star - possibly even better than the initial home inspection. We're so proud of how far she's come

So now we wait for a copy of his report to come in to know for sure that he recommended us to DCF and we're in the clear!

Congratulations! Although I never thought for a moment you wouldn't pass ;-)  GFCI outlets are just a good thing in general and they are super easy to put in.  Home Depot and Lowes sell them in bulk packs.

Of course you passed!  You and A are going to be wonderful foster parents! Must feel great to get past this big step!!

Yay! Glad it all went well. And extra treats and scratches to Lilly for being a good girl! You will have little ones before you know it.

Congrats! Glad the visit went well. It's intersting that they asked about your childhood experiences. It makes sense but it made me think about how frustrating it would feel to be judged on how one had integrated your upbringing into your parenting ideas. That would be difficult for us, since both E and I are hoping to not recreate dynamics from our childhood.
