Second Interview

Last night's home study visit went well.  I felt a lot more comfortable.  The discussion was about our community and our finances.  Our finances are in order so that wasn't much of an issue.  She didn't want to know any specific numbers or anything just about our spending habits.  I thought she would look over everything with a fine toothed comb.  But, it turns out, it is just very general questions.  As for our community and our religious community, we are not very active.  We don't participate in any church events and we don't really know anyone in our church community. We told her we attend the Latin Mass on occasion for special feasts etc but that our little Xavi didn't appreciate it very much :)  She also wanted to know just how religious we were- was it central to our lives?  She will be interviewing us separately next and would also like to speak with Xavi.  That will be interesting.  Now we just have to get ourselves motivated to do our adoption courses and get our two page essay done.  Both Ben and I feel like this whole thing isn't going to happen.  But I hope that God will continue to guide us and re-inforce what we are setting out to do or make it very clearly impossible to do.   The home study feels like a lull in the whole process.  She did ask some  questions about the future of our children that I hadn't considered, mostly because I am not sure if this adoption will ever come to fruition.
