Gave her a piece of my mind

I decided that it was time to give my SW a call because she was really getting on my nerves. I gave her a call at about 9:15 a.m. but the receptionist told me that she hadn't reached to work as yet. I let a message for her and waited for her to call. She returned my call at 11:20 a.m. Her 'reason' for not calling me for the whole week is because there was some internal shuffling of workers. What kind of a stupid reason is that for forgetting me for almost a whole week. What does moving around some staff have to do with remembering to keep your appointments. I told her that this is not a good reason for forgetting to call me to reschedule. I also told her that dealing with adoption might be her job (one that she isn't doing too well right now I might add) but it is my life that she is playing around with. She asked me if she could come to visit me next Friday at 9:00 a.m. I point blank asked her if she was going to be keeping this appointment.  I will proceed very cautiously from here on. I will call her every day next week to make sure that she remembers me. From now on she will want to know if I am possessed. I will be on her like white on rice. I wan my baby and there is nobody that will stand in my way. I knew that she would have no proper reason. Wow!!!!!! It felt really good to get all of that off my chest. Whew!!!!

Good for you. I'm glad you feel better. I also agree with you - while I understand that short of staff and staffing issues can be difficult and frustrating - I firmly believe as a professional there is no excuse (well unless life threatening) for not at the very least having the receptionist call you.

You go girl! I don't blame you for being mad. That is just ridiculous. I would do the same thing if it were me. There is no excuse for being such a flake.

I would not call everyday because you don't want to pisss her off.  I would however call the day before to remind her of your appointment.  If she were to then forget to come, I would go directly to her supervisor and request a new advocate for your adoption since clearly she is not serious about your prospects.

deep breaths...your baby will come.  deep breaths!

PS:  we left one agency for crap like this.  I understand, but don't make yourself nutso in the process!
