Home Inspection complete - that was too easy!

As you know, we put a lot of work and effort into making our home safe for a child so it would pass the home inspection. Incredibly, and to our disappointment, the inspection was too easy! Our case-worker simply wanted to see where all the rooms were, and was more interested in how many rooms we had, if the baby would have her own room, and where that was in respect to our bedroom. No checking drawers or cabinets for safety latches, no checking for dangerous items within reach of a child, no checking for safety plugs on the outlets - just about 1 minute of walking around the house, then we sat down and talked!

But now we are prepared, and Sheryl will be better equipped to take on new customers for her in-home business. And the house is cleaner than ever, and we're enjoying that part of it.

Now we start with the dossier packet, which goes to China when completed. This doesn't look quite as daunting as the first set of paperwork. It's basically gathering information, getting forms filled out and letters written, and most everything has to be notarized and given the state seal when completed. Our goal is to have this done in two weeks. As always, we'll keep you posted!
