Well we have taken the 1st step...I mailed out our application for an adoption agency. I'm nervous. I keep thinking I missed something on the forms but I know I checked it several times before I sealed the envelope. Next step is a two day workshop on the 27-28 to start the home study and birthmother letter/portfolio and set up our we pages. So excited!

I was so busy checking and double checking the forms that I forgot to enclose the check!! lol......Of course I didn't even realize it until that evening, but all was well in the end!

I was terrified that it would get lost in the mail, so I drove the 2+ hours to hand in my paperwork in person and even then the CW had to pry it out of my hands because I didn't want to let it go. LOL
Feels great though once all that paperwork is done!

Its funny how we have the same anxieties. We ladies make our behaviors sound normal. Lol I plan on calling to see if they got the application with a check.

LOl...The funny thing is, we are switching agencies and we are sending in our paperwork on Friday to the new agency. I was going to take the afternoon off of work to drive over an hour to downtown Nashville and drop it off! I spoke to the SW yesterday and she was like..???..don't do that, just mail it!! AND....I am actually going to listen to her and MAIL it!! I am living on the edge lately I guess.
Of course, come Friday I might change my mind!

I checked. They got it. Now we have to wait until they process the application and wait for an approval letter and confirmation to attend the 2 day workshop on the 27 and 28. Wait, wait, wait. People have said to me that I must be patient since I am a special education teacher. But ladies I'm not feeling like I have patience now.

I HATE waiting. Early on, my husband said, "you are SO impatient, how are you going to survive this?", of course my response was something like, " The better question is how are YOU going to survive this!"
I have alot more trust in our new agency, so I think that is helping with my patience level. They are also very communicative, and THAT helps the most. I just want to know what's going on...That's all!
SOmeone told me that we have to control the wait or it controls us. And let's face it, in adoption the waiting could consume us if we let it.
