Baby Steps

Agency Worker called back. She talked to the adoption liaison. K says that she emailed the foster care worker. K told D that they needed to set up the selection staffing, and D replied that she didn't see any reason to do that and it wasn't necessary. Have I mentioned that D is not familiar with the adoption rules?! K is going to get her supervisor involved. D isn't trying to be difficult, she just doesn't understand the procedure. I'm guessing she must be pretty new to not have ever dealt with an adoption before.

Anyway, the selection staffing has to happen, but our home study will be the only one reviewed, and hopefully they will do the permanency staffing the same day. Agency Worker also told K AGAIN that someone from our agency would be willing to de-identify the files, and K said she might take them up on the offer! YEA! It's not much progress, but it's something, and I'm so happy to have heard something, even if it is small. K said that she understood that there was an anxious family (us) and Agency Worker told her that the girls are in the adoption class and are ready to be moved. I really believe that K will try to get this done for us, and I'm still praying to have my girls by November 12th.
