We're praying that Lucas Robert exits FC today and we're on our way to PGN. We don't know if our SW is on vacation now or will be starting Monday, all we know is the interview was done 11/13 and we still have no news.

I have no idea where we are at. I know we were charged for DNA, I know the testing was scheduled along with the SWI for 12/7. I am praying we are out of there before vacations as well as the rest of you!

We are hoping and praying to be out of FC and on to PGN. We have received our PA, but our agency says we're not quite done w/FC.

Sending up a prayer for all of us.

Social Report

Well, our social report was released today, but it had errors in it so our attorney took it back for the corrections to be made. The judge had approved it already so, he supposedly doesn't have to approve it again. We were told it would be next week before we got it back.

Then we find out that our social worker is leaving on vacation today. Which upset us very much as we were told that she went on vacation the first rotation and that is why we didn't have it yet. Now, we are being told she is on the second rotation for vacation. I questioned our agency about this and now they are saying that the report should be ready by the close of business today and that we should enter PGN by Tuesday for our first referral. I demanded we get a copy of the social report today. This is going to be our only proof that they did get it today.

We are just so aggravated with all the lies we have been told throughout both our adoptions. I cannot believe that our attorney haven't learned not to lie because I will find out about the continued lies they tell us. My agency is even frustrated because I am the one finding out information and not them. I am the one that tells them what I find out including things that are going on with the foster family.

I don't know how much more lies I can handle now.

I just want my children home soon both Anderson and Julia.

Martha
