Good News . . . Bad News

The Good News? Patrick's FBI approval arrived yesterday!

The Bad News? Mine is still MIA.

We're hoping mine arrives (approved) in the next couple of days.

We also are having some communication issues between our home study agency and our adoption agency which is frustrating. Our home study agency isn't solely a home study agency. They also do domestic adoptions, embryo adoptions, and some other stuff along the same lines. They're really good, but they're growing and constantly adding new employees. We've literally had three different social workers and four different case workers in just over two years. Sometimes there is lack of training and things get lost in translation. Often times one caseworker will ask for something that the previous caseworker didn't need. Even more frustrating, they won't ask for something they do need which delays things. So that's what's going on with our home study right now. Getting both of our FBI approvals in hand would solve the problem.

In the meantime I'll continue to run interference and question everything. Which I do . . . question everything, that is. I know I drive the caseworker nuts with questions, but I've learned questioning now often saves us stress and mistakes in the future.

Have a great weekend everyone!
