Why I think
the Nepal program might be right for me. I received my information packet from my agency today, which included a whole lot of documentation that I had provided to them previously. Instead of feeling annoyed that I had to complete all this stuff for the second time, I jumped on it. (note that this attitude does not extend to my still incompetent home study agency, which AGAIN is holding me up by failing to send me whatever ridiculous paperwork they’re demanding to update my home study (you know, the one I did four months ago but that they said needed to be redone since they expire in six months and six months is almost up – IF YOU IGNORE THE NEXT TWO MONTHS)). Sorry. Seem to have some residual resentment of them. Anywhoo, tomorrow I’m sending off my paperwork and first big check, and I’m happy about it in the same way I was happy about it when I started the process for Vietnam. I think this might bode well.

Boy do I understand frustration about the home study. It’s taken us longer to get our updated home study for our Ethiopia adoption than it took to completed our original home study when we adopted our daughter. Something is just wrong with this picture. However, we both know that in the big scheme of things, this is just a minor set back. One day it will all be a distant memory as we’re chasing two little ones around the house.
