I ended up emailing the adoption coordinator to ask about the education program, and our options.  I don't mean to be impatient, and I hope the social worker doesn't feel I've gone over her head. This is the very promising response I received from her:

 

There is funding for the North for a few AEP Self Study Plus courses. When your social worker gets back touch bases with her and she can speak with her supervisor and have you added to the list. I think there will a couple this summers. Let me know if there is anything I can help you with!!

Rachelle let me know today that the reference documents arrived at their house!  I was not sure the social worker would have mailed them out before her holidays started.  I’m SO glad they went out before.  Now I’m super sad that we weren’t able to get in to see the doctor before he left for his vacation L  I know the two don’t seem like they are related in any way, but I’d really like to go back in when the social worker returns from holidays and be able to say “HEY! All our references are in, here is our adoption questionnaire and our medicals.  What’s next?”  I want them to know we are SUPER SERIOUS.

Got a call from Rose at AFABC yesterday confirming the loan of the three books I ordered.  She’s just waiting for one to be returned before she sends them off.  She wanted to make sure we knew how it worked, and she needed a credit card so that she could include a return prepaid envelope to send with.  Which I was SUPER excited about, because I am lazy, and I was worried I would procrastinate and they would end up being sent back super late.  This was I have NO excuse to not send them back in time.  I hope they arrive before our holiday in April.  My phone unfortunately died during the conversation and I have no idea how to contact Rose to apologise but we were at the very end of the phone call.  I hope she understood what happened.

 

Talked to Alan and Rhoda about the reference as well.  They said that the form was pretty straight forward, and even plan on dropping it off instead of mailing it, so that it is received sooner.  Rachelle also said that she started on it!  What wonderful people we have in our lives!
