SO first off, we are approved to adopt and everything (almost everything) went well. Here is the story. Anderson was eating a snack in his highchair while we were sitting at the table discussing our adoption. I was, a nervous wreck trying to hold it together. Anderson started screaming so I took off his tray and tried to pull him out of the highchair. Danie said "I buckled him in" I remember he was stuck in it so I turned around to set his tray on the table so I could unbuckle him to get him out. Next think I know I hear a plop, the social worker gasps and Anderson is sitting on the FLOOR. Oh my gosh. I look at Daniel and say " i thought he was buckled in??!) Daniel just nervously laughs and Anderson starts laughing, luckily, and was not hurt. I scooped him up and tell him I am really sorry and tell the social worker that has never happened before. OH MY GOSH, again. What in the world happened?? After the sw left, I looked at Daniel and he tells me I unbuckled him before turning around. I HAVE NO MEMORY OF THIS AT ALL. I was so nervous I was not even thinking right. What a story, eh??
Luckily, the rest of the visit went great, and our social worker was really nice and did not seem phased by what looked like a totally crazy mom. She told us she would have our study written up by the end of the week. She left smiling...... Someone give me a relaxer....

- We are waiting to adopt our fourth child from the U.S.A. I am a momma to three other awesome children and wife to the love of my life. My boys are homegrown and my daughter is adopted from S. Korea . We cannot wait to meet our next baby!
POOR BABY!! That would have freaked me out too. You survived it though, I told you, they want to approve you!!
ReplyDeletei can see why you need a relaxer! i would have been a wreck too! i'm sure your SW knows that could happen to any mom! glad Anderson was ok and you are on your way to your home study being finished up!
ReplyDeleteEek! I'm glad your SW handled it so well. And wow! The end of the week?! Awesome!!!
ReplyDeleteah! i'm sorry!!! i doubt you'll ever forget that story! glad it went well and now it's over!
ReplyDeleteOh, boy. Of course that would happen when your sw is watching. Figures! I'm glad Anderson ended up laughing and wasn't hurt. Anyway, I'm sure you are super excited to be done with that and almost done with the whole home study process!!!
ReplyDeleteOh boy! Glad he is okay and the SW is understanding. What a relief it's done!
ReplyDeleteOK - I'm laughing here... but only because I have a similar story. Our first visit with our SW after returning from Korea, I missed the couch when I went to put Spencer on it. (And we had never met this woman before! She was replacing our former SW who left) Talk about wanting to throw up... I was at least able to blame the sleep deprivation though! ;-)
ReplyDeleteOh whoa...I bet you were screaming AHHHHHH inside your head when that happened. I was nervous just reading about it. I'm glad all turned out well & congrats on surviving the home study. PHEW!!!
ReplyDeletethanks Christine - i am glad i am not alone - but yea, you had sleep deprivation. i am still working on my excuse... lol
