OK - I know that my anxiety is starting to get out of control but come on it's been almost four weeks. They called on December 13 and told us we were selected and we would receive an email that day. I know then it was Christmas and New Years but Christmas was over a week ago. This process is unreal. Do they realize they are playing with my childrens' lives?
I gave in and called her.
She just came back yesterday from the holidays. Over the holidays she has received green light to proceed (I didn't know we where waiting for another green light).
She just received the paperwork and is scheduling the dates now. She believes she has everyone's email address except for the therapist. Asked if we have any dates in Jauary that we are not available. I asked if we will get visitation information at the next meeting and she said that (2 days later) we would map out the schedule beginning with 1 and 2 hour visits at the office then days and then weekends. That the boys have to live in home for 6 months and but we can file the adoption petition (does that mean we need our own lawyer).
The bad part about this part of the process is that we don't have any idea what the next step is. The class doesn't cover adoption at all only foster care.
This just takes so long and the silence is maddening.
I wonder how many people give up on social services.
I guess now I can keep waiting for the email that has taken 4 weeks to come.
