Adoption

Frustrated

I know I shouldn't be frustrated yet because this is only the beginning of the waiting... I just talked to our licensing worker who was supposed to mail our application on May 20th when we signed it but our application is just being mailed today. I know it is only 2 weeks but I can't help but be annoyed that it is two weeks more we have to wait when I already felt like we had everything out there.

Thankfully we have had a pretty smooth process until now so I know I should just be glad it hasn't taken as long as it could have! Sorry, just had to vent to some ladies who I knew would understand! :-)

  • To anyone outside the world of adoption, two weeks may seem like no big deal, but when you are waiting it's HUGE.

    Sorry to hear about the delay. I'd be frustrated too. Hope this is your one bump in the road :-)

  • I know any delay is frustrating!  I would be feeling the same way!
    TTC #1 since 12/07 SA 9/08=borderline normal HSG 1/09 found R tube blocked Multiple IUIs both with oral and injectible drugs from 2/09-2/11 Started domestic adoption process in 5/10, homestudy complete 9/10 Failed adoption after home with baby for 2 weeks 11/10 Blessed through the miracle of private adoption with a son, born 6/6/11 (his grandma's bday) 7lbs 9oz 20.5 inches long! So worth the wait!
  • The delays can be really frustrating, but try and redirect that energy and focus on something fun to distract yourself! I promise, it will do a world of difference!
