First visit over...

We had our first home visit with DYFS today. Chatted a bit, signed lots more forms, got more finger print forms and checked all the appropriate boxes.
We signed up for any gender, any race, ages 0-10. Foster, foster to adopt or just emergency care.
Then came the inspection...She loved the house, said we had plenty of room, all child proofing were adequate...We have to finish our master bath, the toilet, tub and sinks work but it is a huge mess still and has no finishing "touches", she said this will not pass. Gives us the motivation to finally get it done, but it is strange it needs to be done, it is locked so the kids can't get in it. We have a couple months to do it till the final state inspection.
All else went great till the very last room...Jonathan's. We have a finished basement and his bedroom is down there. It has a window that he can get out of, but she said there is no way she will pass that, she does not like finished basements and his room needs a standard full window. (The minute I said we had a finished basement she made a face, I should have known we were in for trouble...) John is moving out very soon, he has been looking at apartments, but is having trouble finding one he likes and can afford. So, for now he will be moving my office stuff into his room and he will get my office (which has its own bathroom, a door to the outside and of course, a window). He is upgrading for sure. Me? I am being thrown down into the dungeon that has been known as the man cave for 10 years. Ah well...it is safer for him anyway.

Now that is done, I prepare for tomorrow's surgery. I have to be there 11:15. Getting a bit nervous, but I am very excited!
Will write after I am drugged up laying in bed comfortably numb (gee, this sounds familiar...).

Beunos Noches!
