I had hoped to post the photo of the kids holding up our completed dossier, ready to send two weeks ago. I cannot explain the relief that accompanied having all that paper work finished. Compiling a dossier is brutal on a procrastinator like myself. Lots of annoying finicky stuff and no actual deadline = not a good situation.
So imagine my frustration when a week after sending it I find out that all of our references have to be redone.
Q-Why couldn't this have happened 2 months ago when we learned we would have to have our home study updated??
A- I'd like to know too but I'm not sure yet that I can phone the agency and be nice about it.
I just keep picturing a hamster in it's cage running for all it's worth in the spinner. Working hard and going nowhere. And spending hords of money along the way.
I'm very concerned that by the time the references are updated our medicals will have expired as well. Last time it took 3 months to get our HIV test results (thankfully we were very sure of the outcome).
Please pray that we finally get off this wheel and onto the road to our baby!.
