Hi all, I was on here a few months ago. We at the time were just starting the process for a new adoption. I would love to update but there has been no further development because Info from my last adoption has not been released. I requested they release the info 3 months ago. We are unable to continue with the home study until this information arrives at the new agency. I have called them to see why they have not sent it and all I get is "we were on holidays". For three months????

I am just very disheartend. I just wanted to vent and see if anyone else has had problems like this before. I just can't wait to hold my my new child in my arms. It is frustrating that the process is as long as it is only to be lengthened by someone who has been unable to get moving on requested information.

Can you explain a little more? What information about your previous adoption needs to be released before you can move forward with this adoption? And what do you mean by Being released. I am sorry you are having such a hard time. And hold up is very frustrating when all you really want to do is meet your new child.

OK, our first adoption was from foster care. Therefore we dealt with the Ministry of Children and Families (MCFD) I think that is similar to DCF in the U.S.
Anyway, because we have dealt with MCFD we have to have a Prior Contact Check done with them. So any information that MCFD has about us as parents, needs to be shared with the new private agency that is dealing with the new adoption.

MCFD is not our friend because they once placed a child with us who we were unable to keep because he was harming our other children. They were not at all understanding and I was told that I should not be an adoptive parent. I would believe them if I wasn't already parenting and homeschooling an adopted child from foster care.

I am so sorry you are dealing with this. I hope you can get things moving and settled soon so that you can move forward in this new adoption.
