A huge weight has been lifted from our shoulders now that Saturday has
come and gone. Our adoptive home study went off without any problems
whatsoever. Janie and I (and Chase) want to thank everyone for their
continued prayers and encouraging notes we have been bombarded with
over the over the past week. They mean more than you know.
Our home study was done by an agent from American Adoptions
(and an agent in-training), and lasted for about 3 hours. We were
thrilled that both of them had an affinity for large dogs and even more
thrilled that Jeter was on his best behavior.
So far, we are very glad we have gone with American Adoptions to help us through the process but it's not over yet and we won't fully give them our stamp of approval until then. It sounds like we will receive our completed home study report in about a month (which is typical). There is not much we can do until we get the report so we will spend most of this time getting our home ready for Chase's arrival!

As a foster parent, I had to go through a home study as well...very stressful! Glad to hear that things went well though--not shock since you are both fabulous!
Praying :o)
