thank you
Thanks to all who helped me thru the past couple rough days. I'm feeling much better today. I just spoke to my case worker and vented to her about the comments made and she apologized up and down and assured me that the situations we're looking for arise all the time and there is no way we'll wait 8 years for our child.
Apparently the referral letters never went out..so she apologized for that as well and is mailing them out today. Turns out we DO need to go to be fingerprinted for the FBI clearance so she's mailing us the cards and will call me on Tuesday to make sure I got them and explain what needs to be done with them.
Then she said all that's left to do is the final homestudy which is very simple and that we'd be open by the end of December.
I'm in a better frame of mind now. I realize God won't give me anything I can't handle and whatever happens from this point forward is just meant to be. I just have to stay optimistic. I suppose I better read up on the care of newborns and toddlers since I haven't a CLUE!!! That ought to keep me occupied for awhile.
I hope you all have a very happy and safe holiday. Thanks again so much!
