All of us are finally going to adopt! It has taken us approximately 12 years but the stars have finally lined up right and we will be opening up our household to a baby girl in approximately 3 weeks… As a part of the adoption process we had to have a home study completed! I assume the state wants to make sure that we would be fit parents, and they don’t do this for natural births but whatever.
Anyway, the lady from the state came by and they said that we need to service our heating and cooling (or lack thereof).
Evidently space furnaces are not appropriate for a new baby. The state worker had less of a concern with our window a/c devices but if we are going to get our central heating fixed then I might as well get the central cooling device fixed at the same time. This household used to have central heating and cooling but it has been more than a few years since either of them actually worked. I don’t recall why we didn’t get them fixed when they easily broke down. Now I wish we had. It makes me worried that we won’t get to adopt after all. However, the state worker said that we just need to service the central heating device and then she will come back and sign off on everything. So that’s good. Fixing the central heating and cooling is not going to be cheap but then an adoption isn’t cheap either. All of us will just add the Heating and A/C service expense to our loan and then cover the cost for everything slowly. It will easily work out. All of us will make certain of that.
