Adoption Saga Continues

Well, I spoke with our case worker today. I was hoping she would tell me that she had been working on revising our home study and was just about done. Ha! Instead she tells me that she needs our file from the Program Director, but that person is on vacation until Monday. Apparenlty she didn't know that when she spoke with me last week. Amazing considering she had just spoken with that same person to get the information she gave me.

Well, if that's not frustrating enough, our case worker goes on vacation next Thursday. She told me we shouldn't expect anything to get done until after July 10th. JULY 10TH! I was floored. I find it hard to believe that no one can get our file from the Program Director's office. Like that person's boss maybe?

Here's the other part of my frustration. We were told (as a class) that summer is the best time for visitation with the children. They aren't in school, they are more available, time's not so constrained, etc. That being said, we can't even get our stinking home study finished so we can meet the child that was mentioned to us IN MARCH because the 2 people who need to get together to get this done are on seperate vacations for what amounts to the next month!
I work for a government funded organization. During peak times, I am not allowed to take vacation time. That includes Christmas and New Years, not to mention about 5 other times during the year. WHY this organization can take time during what is their peak time is beyond my comprehension.
So I emailed the Governor of the great state of FL... I got a great response from his office the first time I emailed him - truly. I went so far as to tell him the next time he's in the area, my husband and I would be happy to meet with him and tell him our saga so far. I hope he has a couple of hours...
