Yesterday we had our FINAL post placement visit. We had to have three post placement visits from our social worker. Now we have to do annual reports every year until Kobe turns 18. It was a bittersweet visit. There are so many things in the adoption journey that are bittersweet. While we are happy to not have our social worker visit us, we are sad that we don't have our social worker visit us. It is yet another milestone. We have been home long enough that we are now on our own as far as reports go. Yet it is very sad to know that we won't be seeing our social worker any more. Once again, God's hand was truly on this journey. We picked All Gods' Children International for our agency. They are based out of Oregon. Since we chose this agency, we needed to find a local agency that would be willing to work with us, as well as AGCI, to do our home study. God blessed us with an agency one hour away. I do believe if they wouldn't have been willing to work with us, we would have had to get someone four hours away. Four hours (one way) wouldn't have been fun to get to appointments plus paying for mileage for our in home visits. I was so thankful to find someone "close" to us that would work with us. Not only did we luck out that way, we were blessed with an amazing social worker. We felt so comfortable with her which is how you should feel with someone in this situation. It was a true blessing to walk this journey with someone that we really connected with. We thank God for leading us to Catholic Family Services as well as our awesome social worker. There are no words to thank her for all she did for us. Our hearts once again are overflowing.
