So I think I am having a break down and so soon after a wonderful Christmas. Our second adoption has by no means been going easily. We were spoiled by Gage's adoption in that everything was smooth. None of our paperwork had to be redone and although our social worker had a few hiccups with a personal situations that delayed us (only about a week) it was easy. Now onto adoption number 2. If I ever get this darn dossier together and correct it will be a miracle. We have had issues with our new social workers timeliness and accuracy. Again we were spoiled with our first one she really bent over backwards for us. So let me vent about the mistakes that have happened:
1. The notary at my work who verified my employment letter has the wrong date on her stamp so I couldn't get it county certified...
2. Chris's radiologist doesn't understand that we need our letter from her to be notarized. We are working around that.
3. My home study is wrong and is being redone with the correct financials and correcting that Gage's name is not GABE!! A big pet peeve of mine.
4. Our psychological reports took longer than expected because they needed to talk with our social worker.
There are many more little intricacies that I will not discuss here, but I am fed up and trying to find a way to stay positive! I never understood why people thought this process was hard.... Hummm yeah I get it now!!! The mayhem can stop at any time:)
Please give me the patience to understand that these delays are happening for a reason. We will be united with our child at the right time.

Hello! I just found your blog and had to say hi - we are adopting from Colombia thru CHI also (our first) and our dossier was just sent to Colombia a week ago. Thought it would be nice to at least keep up with each other's blogs through our long wait! :) God bless.
