A Happy Road: Movement

Movement

We received an email from our case worker today asking for approval for a change in wording on our home study. This is great news because it means she has completed the home study and it has been sent to our placement agency for approval. We have approved the changes and hopefully this means the home study will soon be headed to DCFS for approval!
