Hi Erin  There is funding for the North for a few AEP Self Study Plus coarses. When [the social worker] is back [from holidays] 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 summer. Let me know if there is anything I can help you with!!

 I was pretty excited and hopeful after that.  I spoke to the social worker after she returned from her holidays and was told again that there was no AEP over the summer (Still makes me disappointed).  Cal found a blog (http://adoptionsupportinterior.blogspot.ca/2011/04/aep-ssp-and-other-annoying-acronyms.html) that mentioned the self study courses as well, so I asked the social worker again.  Her response was to talk to the adoption coordinator again to see what she had been talking about.  I emailed the Coordinator and got this response:

Hi   There is usually no coarses offered during the summer. They are in the process of making an online coarse that families can do at their own pace, but unfortunately it is just in the trial stage. I am sure your social worker will keep you posted as to the next AEP. If I hear of one I will let you know.

Why would she have gotten my hopes up back in March?  I just don't get it.  Whatever.  We'll wait until September I guess.
