Would have been nice to know.....

So, to catch you up on the most recent activities.........We talked to our friends that just did the adoption through the state. We told them what the caseworker had said and they said that sounded about right. As it turns out......our friend works for the state. She decided to tell us that she went through a private agency that usually costs $14,000. AND this agency does not charge state employees. So, as it turns out, it is very normal for adoption to take this long through the state. We thought it had something to do with us.........I'm glad it isn't. It just would have been nice for our friends to tell us the entire sequence of things instead of leading us to believe that it was going to be a short wait. Not that it is their fault.....but, had we known it would have taken this long......we would have been fine with it. We just got our hopes up and planned differently. Looking at it now.....I'm kind of glad that it will take a while. I was actually getting a little overwhelmed trying to get everything done so quickly. It's all good.

Blog to you soon......
