Again...it's been way too long since updating this blog!
Our home study agency is taking so long doing our update! They started in December and still are not done. I am so angry. So far two of our social workers have quit or been fired and we are on social worker number three (same agency). There are several boys on the waiting list right now we could have if our home study was done. Ick...I'm so mad!
Unfortunately, because of my new job, we are going to end up waiting some more! I will not have maternity leave until I've worked there a year. Sigh.
Oh well, I think little Eddie will really enjoy having us to himself for another year.
Now we'll have to get ANOTHER homestudy update since we're moving and have new jobs, etc. Such fun!
