I've struggled my whole life with the elusive virtue of patience. I'm not the most decisive person in the world (those who know me would chuckle at that understatement). BUT once I know what I want to do I go after things with gusto. This adoption has been no different. After things fell through with Ethiopia I was distraught, overwhelmed, conflicted, and nervous about our next move. Once we knew Haiti was right though we hit the ground running. So, it's hard to have little hang ups holding us back from finishing our paper chase. (And yes I do realize those hang ups will continue, and in more dramatic fashion, later in our adoption)
Our home study has been finished for just over a week and I thought we would been able to have it in hand within days to be able mail off our USCIS application and to get our dossier authenticated. However, we had a little hang up. Our case worker quit working for WIAA. Gratefully he did agree to finish writing our home study, but once it was finished and updated he emailed a copy of it to WIAA and mailed a hard copy of the last pages with his signature on it. Apparently, when WIAA received the pages they were printed out of line with the previous pages so they had to have him resign and mail new pages. They still haven't received them yet. So! We are still waiting on those. I am particularly anxious to get the USCIS application off since it takes so long to process and we have to attend a fingerprinting appointment that they will designate before we get a favorable determination letter back from them allowing us to move forward.
Gah! I'm just so impatient.
I called WIAA today and they said that the new signature pages haven't come still so hopefully Monday. So, hopefully next week we can get the ball rolling on the USCIS application and authenticating the dossier...
