Frustration

I haven't posted in awhile and decided to sit down to update everybody as to whats going on.  Our home study has been a huge source of stress and frustration from the beginning.   First is was gathering all the documents that are needed, then meeting with a social worker several times, and now waiting for the adoption agency to give its blessing on it.  We had our last meeting with our social worker in April and now here we are in June and still no completed home study.  Right now I feel like we are at a stand still while we wait for SMIA to review corrections made to our home study( not our fault but the social workers).  I was hoping to have paperwork being finalized to send to Poland by now but looks like end of summer/fall before that happens.  Again adoption is a huge lesson in patience.  This is a hard lesson for someone like me who wants instant results.

    Has your agency given you the list of documents needed for your dossier? I'm trying to think of something for you to do...We are blessed with an excellent homestudy agency, but everyone has snafus-my FBI prints were rejected twice, which added 2 extra months to our process. I hope your referral comes sooner than ours!

    I know how frustrated you may be. Compiling our dossier was sooo very stressful. At one point I had to get very assertive with NJ regarding one of my documents which was lost(they said it went to the lottery commission of all places lol). Maybe you need to call whomever is slowing the process and really get some answers as to what is going on.
    Good Luck:)

    I know how you feel. We started our adoption in March of 2010. Our dossier was not sent to Poland until November 2010. Our homestudy agency is really slow to get anything done which made that part of the process really drag out. Then when we needed papers from the home study agency for the dossier that took a long time as well. It can be very frustrating. But you will get there. Everything will come together at just the right time for you to be united with your child/children. In the meantime work on getting your dossier paperwork gathered together, notarized, etc. if you haven't already.
