Our Family

Wednesday, March 2, 2011

Well, the decision is made...

We are switching home study agencies.  Our current agency called today with the news of what is the issue.  The family in question is MIA and the IA agency will not return their calls.  So we were referred to another local agency and I talked to her today.  We will pay a small transfer fee of $200 and the home study update fee of $300.  So not too bad given the circumstances.  In my opinion anyway!  I did look on the blacklist just to make sure that this new agency was not on the blacklist, and when I pulled it up there was an agency with their name on the list, but located in Michigan.  I asked just to make sure if they were connected with that agency, and it was a big NO!  They seem very nice, but now we only got 6 weeks to get everything redone including fingerprinted with the KBI.  So the social worker suggested we drive to Topeka to get it done and it will process faster rather than going to our local police station and having them mail it.  So our new packet will be in the mail tomorrow, and hopefully on Monday we can get busy!  Thanks for all the prayers, they are appreciated more than you know.

  1. UGH, but at least you have a plan. I need to figure out if they can do our post placement or if I need to find someone else.

  2. Man! I'm so frustrated that you have to do this...

    But like Trisha said, I'm glad you have a plan and have things moving in the right direction.

    On a side note, I just don't get how, as an adoptive parent, anyone can abandon the PPR. Don't they remember what it was like to be on the other side of things? To have your whole life hanging in the balance, completely out of your control? Ugh.
