Went to a city a couple hours away yesterday. They have a value village - Which is awesome. I went in and bought SIX books about adoption for less than $25. They were mostly hard cover books - I'm so excited. Two of the six are books that I got out of the library at AFABC, which is awesome, so now I'll get to keep them for reference books in the future. I'm hoping that next week I'll be able to run into the second hand stores in town to look for more reference materials! Wahoo!
Our social worker called today to touch base before she goes on holidays. She let me know that unfortunately there won't be any AEP course until September. While disappointing, it isn't really a surprise. I know have a contact email for her, so that is spectacular. She confirmed that all our references are in and our criminal record checks have been completed as well.
I just have to keep telling myself that the system is in place the way it is for a reason - the waiting is normal, and even necessary.
Rachelle and I went to Wal-Mart awhile back (I can't remember if I blogged this little story or not - so if I did...sorry) and she was asking me about how long the process takes. I told her at least a year, more likely an average of two years. She was a bit floored by the time you have to wait. Her shock was almost humorous to me, because we waited 14 months to get pregnant with our son, and then the standard 9 months on top of that. Two years really isn't all that long. I do wish we could speed the progress though.
