Good grief. Vent.

We are working with two agencies for our adoption: one for our home study and one as our placing agency.  Placing agency is stellar and we love them.  Home study agency is less so; they got the job done but that's the best thing I can say about them.

Our home study CW needed us to sign something today, so she was going to meet us at our place at 1pm.  1pm rolls around and DH gets a phone call from her, "So I'm driving down XYZ street- where do I turn?"

XYZ street is in another city about 45 minutes away.  DH tells her she needs to get back on the highway.  CW sounds confused, so DH reminds her what city we live in. CW says, "Oh no did you move!  That's going to be a big problem with your home study.  We have a lot of work to do now." 

Um, no.  We did not move.  You forgot where we live.  I can understand being on the wrong end of town or forgetting what street, but how do you forget what city we live in?!  We spend 10+ hours with this lady over the winter and spring, and she has been to our house.  I am so, so glad our home study is done because I have zero faith left in this lady.  We will complete our post adoption checks with her over the next few years, but I am secretly hoping she retires or gets a new job soon.  Yikes.

Wow, that's quite the story!  I can't help but laugh, but I can understand your frustration!

Oh boy! I'm directionally challenged, but I'd like to think I can normally at least get to the right city!

I agree!!

Wow, that is bad!

You would think she'd at least check to make sure before starting off... That's just being responsible with your time.

Our placing agency is awesome but our homestudy agencies have been awful. And yes, I said agencies. We had to have our home study moved to another agency right before travelling because of issues. Both have dropped the ball more than once too.

So frustrating, isn't it??   I just keep telling myself that one day this will just be a distant memory.

Call her supervisor and rip her a new one.  Being in the wrong city is not acceptable.
