How do you all know where you are in the process?

I ask because you all seem so up to date on exactly what is happening with your child's journey.

Based on past performance, I don't see us getting this detailed information from our agency.

Are you getting this from your agency, or is there a "master website" somewhere that I don't know about?

I want to know every step!

Thanks, Julie

We are lucky in that our agency allows me to call or email any time I want. I usually email them every few days OR they call/email me if something has changed. We have also visited several times and have established a great relationship with our attorney and our foster family. We talk to our foster family once every few weeks to see what our little princess is doing.

I get an email from my agency whenever there is an update on my case - i.e. dr visit, foster mother visit, DNA done, Family Court enter/interviews done/exit, PGN

My agency lets me know when we've made it through another step. I did ask them last week if we were in Family Court yet, and they let me know (at that time) that our dossier was still being translated.

My agency lets me know when something 'happens'. I call or email when I can't stand it - just to find out nothing happened w/o my knowing!

Thanks

Thanks for all of your answers...they help.

I just feel so disconnected from the process!

It makes me want to go for a visit!

I love my agency!

My agency gives me a weekly email updates. Also, if anything big happens like DNA authorization, or family court interviews, they call right away.
