Wow...things have been going pretty smoothly as far as the adoption goes...actually things have been super fast and without a hitch, but today we hit a few snags and it is sooo much more frustrating than I ever dreamed. Maybe because I have her face in my head pushing me on....We have a couple of things to do in addition to our homestudy that we found out about last week and we are working on getting those things done....things that I cannot make go faster...trust me, I have tried. Then, today, they called and said they needed additional information on 2 VERY MINOR surgeries I had, one in 1996, a tonsillectomy!!!!...now, I could understand if I had a debilitating disease or something, they may need more info to make sure that I could take care of my child, but I mean
really. My doctor already put in the medical that I had surgery and the condition was resolved. Now, he needs to expound---what is there to say?? There is no telling how long that will take and every day something ridiculous like that happens, it is longer she is there. I know it is normal, I know these things are going to happen, but it feels alot different when it actually happens. I honestly could cry--but I am not...I just want our homestudy sent to DHR already...so, please pray that we can tie up these loose ends and that from this point, things will move expeditiously (I love that word)!! I am ready to show everyone her picture...come on PA!!!!
Waiting as patiently as earthly possible:)
I found your blog today!!
ReplyDeleteDon't get discouraged! The day to meet her will get here very soon!
I know it must be hard to wait for things so trivial as this. I know that you and your family will be the absoulte BEST thing to ever happen to this sweet child.
Its not long now!
Oh good grief...that is ridiculous! HUGS!!!
ReplyDeleteJennifer, please know that this is truely a minor issue that will be resolved quickly. I have had adoption homestudies sent back to me for even more minor things than that. Please know that it is better to have issues resolved now than after DHR has it and it has to be sent back to agency/social worker then you then social worker then DHR. Keep your spirits up as best you can. You will have your sweet little girl in your arms soon!!! Praying things get back on track and run smoothly from here on out.
ReplyDeleteThanks for the encouragement...knowing who she is makes it SO much harder!!!!
