We started our home study and application process at the end of last May. SARS was on everyone's mind at the time. A couple of adoption group's travel plans got delayed. The local Channel 7 news was interested in doing a story on how SARS was affecting people's decisions on adopting from China (obviously, it wasn't affecting our decision at all).
Our social worker asked if we would be interested in commenting for them. We agreed thinking that they would ring is in a few weeks. Laura Marquez, a local news reporter, rang up that night and asked us what we were doing the following day. As it turned out, we were planning on meeting our social worker for our first home study visit (no pressure at all). So we did some TV commentary, and then spent time with our social worker discussing all things important to raising children.
