6 Month Home Study Visit

Friday, we had our 6 month home study visit.  We had not seen the social worker for over a year and a half, although it didn’t seem like it has been that long!  She was really impressed with the progress we have made with Saiya and how well she is adjusting.  As soon as Saiya realized that the social worker was there to see her, she was all about the attention.  She kept wanting to show her all her toys and her room and then insisted on sitting down and reading to her.  We talked about how well she is doing in school and where we are with attachment and bonding.  We are really very lucky, (and happy) that we have no issues in either of those areas.  I think that the social worker was a little surprised at how outgoing Saiya is.  We had a nice lunch of simple sandwiches, showed the social worker pictures of our family with Saiya (to be sent to China with the home study report) and then the visit was over.  Saiya even gave the social worker a hug before she left.  I know that she left knowing that Saiya was a treasured part of a good family!  I can’t wait until the 1 year home study visit and see how much she has grown and adapted to our family!
