Next homestudy visit is tomorrow

Well, tomorrow afternoon we have our second, of three or four, homestudy visits. Tom will be interviewing Tim and I seperately. He said that for China they require three or four visits. Not sure if he will be doing three or four, so, I am planning to have him interview the kids on the next visit and then tour the house on the last visit, unless he has other plans.

The final packet of paperwork for WIA will be on its way tomorrow, which gets our background checks started. Holding my breath on that one. With so many states taking so long, who knows how long the entire background process will take. We can't complete the homestudy until the background clearances and the reference letters are in. It's just a long waiting game right now.

Once the homestudy is written, we can submit our I800a to USCIS, and then begin waiting again. It is taking about 90 to 120 days on average to get the approval from them, so, Im looking to March before we can confidently move on any child we see on the lists.
