This afternoon we had our second home study visit (out of three) with the private adoption agency. During this two hour conversation, while Michael and I drank tea (Constant Comment for me and Earl Grey for Michael) and munched on pretzels, we talked about our families, our childhoods, how our parents disciplined us, our education, our religious beliefs, and some other random bits here and there. Like my 5th place national trophy from the NFL (National Forensics League), and Michael's experiences as the Resident Assistant for the first co-ed floor at OSU, which also happened to be the Native American floor.
Among the stories shared were Michael's coming out, the night my Dad died, my college break-up with my fiancee, Gerry's reassignment which led to meeting Ninfa, and lots of stuff about our siblings.
We also turned in some of the finished forms and paid our first installment, including the application fee, the social worker's mileage reimbursement, and half the home study fee.
