State Cut Backs

Originally Posted By CherMy husband and I are waiting to adopt in Iowa.

I want to know if any other families have been affected by these state cut backs. My husband and I are furious, not at the agency or the social worker, but the state government who can't seem to manage their money properly to maintain certain levels of normalcy. After posting this I plan on writing my representative to see what can be done to stop with these cut backs. We've been waiting over a year already and now that there are three people in the office how are they going to have time to do the work of eight people? Any thoughts?
