We actually made a pot of coffee, had some cookies and just hung out and chatted and then gave her a tour of the house. <BR/><BR/>Just remember - she's on your side. She's not there to trick you or anything like that. If you don't have one - get a fire extinguisher for your kitchen (most home studies require it) and make sure you have working fire & carbon monoxide detectors.<BR/><BR/>At our home study, we had to agree not to use corporal punishment with Dylan (no problem). My husband turned to our social worker and asked "what do you think about duct tape?" We all laughed and she told us that masking tape was acceptable.<BR/><BR/>Have fun!<BR/><BR/>(P.S. - my word verification is prick - I kid you not).Foxxy Onehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10965197890458229684noreply@blogger.com
