Adoption #2 update....Ministry questions and knots in my stomach....
...well, it is important to remember that that is their job, to review the homestudy and make sure all the 'i's are dotted and t's are crossed...Tonight I got an email from my sw with the updated homestudy. The ministry of children had a couple of questions, clarifications on the homestudy. All questions were answered and additional documents sent and I was told that the file is back with the ministry now. Awful to feel those knots in my stomach, but I guess the knots tell me that it is something I really want as if it wasn't, it wouldn't affect me. The first Adoption process had none of this happen...it went through and no additional questions or clarifications were asked. Second time around, not so....so I will try to relax and trust that the rest is fine and that approval is days away, but for now, not feeling so relaxed. So in some ways, second time around is easier and in some ways it is just as hard!!

Hang in there. You have the experience to know that the system works and works well. You have evidence of that when you look at Matteo. Just a little bump and you are back on your way. I'm sure of it!

Hi Elizabeth, Thank you! Yes for the most part I do know the system works..it is just hard to feel vulnerable when so many people have a say in what should be a very personal and private decision....no matter what I will always feel that there is way too much paperwork that should be eliminated and more information related to the children we hope to adopt!! Hope you're hanging in there too!
