Certified does not mean approved

No, there is no issue with our certification. It has been two weeks since our home study was completed. We are in the waiting stage, hoping for a call from a social worker looking to make a placement. This is about approval–the acceptance we seek from society and from other people. I remember in high school how critical it was to gain acceptance and approval from your peers. But now that I am an adult, it seems like a strange concept. At this stage, who really cares what you think about me, or my partner or our decision to adopt a child? Well, it’s not quite that simple.
