12 Month Post-Placement Visit


Next week our social worker will be paying us a visit for the 12-month post-placement report required by the China Center for Adoption Affairs. This is the final report. The visits with our social worker are enjoyable and I fully respect the CCAA's desire to ensure the welfare of the child we have been entrusted with. Still, I personally I am looking forward to being done with this part of the process. It will be nice to be just like any other family who is allowed to raise their children without having to report to a foreign government every 6 months.
For the report, we have to submit 3 photos of Mia and one family photo. Mia doesn't like posing for photos, so she usually looks squirmy and miserable, as if she wants nothing more than to get away from us. And we couldn't exactly show that to the CCAA, don't you agree? After a couple of aborted attempts over the past week, we were really happy to get her to sit still long enough for this photo, courtesy of photographer Sarah.
