We have barely begun the next step in our process. We have scheduled our first meeting with our homestudy agency. It is kind of strange, however. For the first meeting, they want us to come to their offices in Dayton (without the kids). I must say, I do homestudies as a side job, and it is confusing to me why we would be going to somebody's office to do a HOMEstudy.
We get a lot of questions or statments that compare our first adoption process to this one. There are definitely similarities but differences as well. We are using a different adoption agency and a different homestudy agency. We are approaching this with some mild trepidation because we had such a good experience last time, especially with our former adoption agency. Here is a major difference. The last time, during the paperwork process, we were given a call EVERY MONDAY by our adoption worker. This current agency only calls once per quarter. That is strange to me. Thankfully, the experience we gained from the first process is already guiding us through this one.
