In one hour, our caseworker from foster care will be coming to do our first home inspection! We have been anxiety cleaning all week, and our house has never looked better. She’s going to give us notes on what we need to fix before we will be ready for a kid, and ask us a bunch of in-depth questions about our parenting styles and experiences. So nervous and excited! We are ready. We’ve prepared a lot, and gone over the practice questions. Wish me luck!

I’m late to this, how did it go? I hope it went well.
With Healthy Families we went over this curriculum called Circle of Security and it was really helpful and cool to learn about. I can’t recommend it enough of you can get your hands on a copy of the class. It was 2 years ago now so I don’t really remember a lot about what we went over, but it was totally worth it. It’s all about emotional security.

The best part was that I had to disclose my schizophrenia, and the caseworker didn’t mind at all and said I will make a great parent. We just all need to pass a basic medical screening and my therapist needs to sign a waiver. This was my biggest fear, that they would reject me outright based on my disability even though it’s illegal. And now I know it won’t be a problem!

We are doing a similar curriculum, but it has a different name in our state. I’m so nervous and excited, I can’t go to sleep! I’m just wired!
