Adoption journey

Sounds like a cutie!!! A wee little one too.

Karen sorry you are stuck waiting def the worst part about this whole process.
 
Karen hope the weekend goes quick for you and that you hear back Monday morning.
Dream he sounds adorable good luck with the next phase.
Hi everyone else hope you all have a good weekend.
 
Thanks guys! So they now have the form from my Bishop, but the assistant says she doesn't read them. She put it under CW door and he will supposedly get it at 2:30, which is another hour and a half. I am hoping to hear back before the end of today. If not, maybe I can ask my Bishop on Sunday what he said. I am a little nervous about that though, because maybe he doesn't want to be the one to deliver bad news.
 
Steps in the right direction Karen.... hope your news hurries up, we are all willing you on! :hugs:
 
YAY!!! HE RECOMENDED US! Paying the $1000 application fee tonight! Hopefully starting training tomorrow!:happydance:
 
Congratulations Karen good luck with your journey to your child, I look forward to hearing all about it.
 
Great news Karen, you must be so happy!! Please keep us posted with training!! It's really happening now :) xxx
 
Hope you get some answers today Dream, keep us posted, you know how excited I am for you!! :D xxx
 
Just spoke to our Sw.
Discussed little one and how excited we were! She was happy that we are feeling hopeful :)
I discussed the distance and she said she would look into it and discuss with management etc. his family finder is out today so she will talk to her when she's next in office and pass on our report to her! Eek! She wasn't sure if all court proceedings are concluded so will look into that too. Told me to not really expect to hear anything before she comes out on Thursday as she needs to discuss any questions she has with other Sw too.
So, if they decide they like us and its a viable possible match our Sw and his Sw and / family finder will meet us and discuss!
Fingers crossed! Feel really nervous!!
 
Dream that is so exciting! Good luck with your wait until Thursday. I hope this all works out for you!
 
Thanks Karen :) it all just seems too good to be true so I feel really anxious but I'm sure that's normal?!
 
Totally normal! I would be suprised if you didn't feel that way!

I just paid the $1000 application/homestudy fee! Phase 2 paperwork is on its way. I ordered the puzzle for our puzzle fundraiser and it should be here in 10 days. Now just waiting for DH and I to find time to start the training! We are finally on our way!

You can check out our puzzle fundraiser at https://jkhadoption.blogspot.com/p/puzzle-fundraiser.html. Please feel free to share it on your facebook pages and with anyone you know that supports adoption. Thank you so much.
 
Ah I think that is just such a lovely idea Karen! What a beautiful momento to have when it is complete :)
Eek to next phase :) so exciting!! I was such a geek when it came to the homework we were set! It's funny as now when I read the report I can easily spot the big chunks that I wrote and emailed to our Sw. They usually have lots of !!!! In them! Ha ha, you don't realise how much you use punctuation until you sit back and read ;)
 
Yep, I am the same way! I go back and read things and I am so silly. I like to do the paperwork as fast as I can. I can't sleep if there is something I could be filling out. If only DH could feel the same way. :haha:
 
Dream an Karen sounds like you're both well on your way :-) yay!

Our agency said today they'd like us to wait 6-12 months...I don't get how they have so many children needing homes an on paper minus the recent miscarriage were the perfect adopters!

So sorry! Ugh, that wait is torture. Where do you live? Can you maybe see if someone else will let you do it sooner?
 
Dream, I am [-o<[-o<[-o< everything proceeds with this link! The wait is so nerve wracking and I really feel for you. We are linked and i'm still living it, I think the nerves are totally normal until bubba is in our arms. The treatments we have been through make us almost expect disappointment sometimes, I try to stay rational but it's so hard when we mant this so badly. Roll on Thursday! Big :hugs:

Karen, woohoo, you are off the mark now, let the rollercoaster commence! I love the puzzle idea, how special, and the most lovely keepsake :cloud9:

Aimze, i'm really sorry. I feared you may experience that, I think 6 months is sadly quite commonplace. I do understand why, although think categorising everyone in the same bracket isn't right. Enquire with others maybe, but if you feel like this agency is right then maybe wait but see if there are things you could be doing in the meantime so that by the time you start you have put a lot of the groundwork in and therefore sail through quicker. Not sure if this is an option with the new system or not but worth an ask. waiting is so hard :hugs:

Well I am idiot at the moment! :wacko: It's all got a little much i'm afraid and I just randomly burst into tears on my boss today :blush: So embarrassing :blush: I think I am still scared of it 'all going wrong', plus the car is costing a little too much money at the worst possible time, and we are being restructured at work and there is a possibility I may move localities. I will put in a grievance if this is proposed as the upheaval alongside everything else would be too much and there would be a much bigger commute, would disrupt future childcare arrangements, the lift share for DF etc etc etc. But I don't think I have the fight any more :cry: Of course it may be fine, but I just got a little too overwhelmed :nope: BUT little pink is the most important thing ever and we are so excited for our meeting next week... just want confirmation of times and paperwork. hopefully we will hear tomorrow. Back to the crazy email checking :dohh: Sorry to mope around, just finding things a little hard, plus hormones NEVER help issues :growlmad: Will shut up now, but want you all to remember.....


Not flesh of my flesh,
Nor bone of my bone,
but still miraculously my own.
Never forget for a single minute;
You didn't grow under my heart;
but in it :cloud9:

Love to everyone :hugs:
 
Aww lolly, that poem makes me well up every time!
I'm not surprised you are finding it all so overwhelming! I have nothing other than the adoption stresses at the moment and I'm crying all the time :haha: just looking at his little face and turn reading his details! Sitting in the nursery, songs, it all starts me off!!! Lol
I am positive everything will be fine for you though! I just know it :)
Aimze I'm sorry you have to wait :( I agree with all that lolly has said, I found the wait frustrating but I understand the reasons for it. The process can be overwhelming (as detailed by mine and Lollys tears ;) ) so I think they just like to give people the time to grieve etc before they launch into the craziness!!!
