Well this time around I swore I wouldn't freak out during the waiting process. Of course I said that when it seemed like things would go quickly. Now it seems that we are stuck...again... with nothing happening.
I haven't updated lately, but in a short nutshell:
-We waited FOREVER to get our home study approved because someone thought we should wait in line behind families without referrals, since we already have a kiddo. GREAT logic. Our amazing case worker went nuts on the director of our agency and got that cleared up. HELLO, it's not about US--IT'S ABOUT THE BABY IN KOREA GROWING UP WITHOUT A FAMILY. I managed to stay calmish for most of that.
-Our home study was approved on 9/21/15.
-We got our acceptance paperwork and overnighted it to our agency in Michigan the next day. It was in Korea by 10/1/15. More paperwork on 10/22/15.
-December 31, Zoey turned ONE without us. We look forward to seeing pictures and videos soon. Koreans know how to do first birthdays!
-Jan 4, they requested MORE paperwork and let us know we would likely be submitted to the ministry at the end of the month.
Jan 22, after 3 days of snow and potty training, I've officially lost my patience. I've stalked everyone on the facebook IN PROCESS group. There's not a lot of SWS (our agency) families in the same phase as us, so it's hard to guess. I'm making those darn timelines again even though I know they just make me more neurotic. It's just so hard to do nothing (nothing on the adoption front. I'm a mom! I NEVER do nothing!)
Waiting ever so impatiently, for our sweet girl.
