| Just a bump in the road |
| Thursday, July 13, 2006 |
So it appears the snag is just some documentation that our placement agency needs to insure that our home-study agency is licensed and bonded with the state to do home-studies. They want the home-study agency to fax it over to them, but the home-study agency says they don't provide that until the home-study is completed. Sounds a little bureaucratic to me but that, unfortunately, is part of the deal in international adoption.
And this bureaucratic bump in the road is probably so minor compared to some of the others (including procedural ones) that we may encounter in the future. So I'm not losing any sleep over this one since at least both these two groups we're dealing with right now are...
a) Based in the U.S.
and more importantly
b) Not government agencies
So I suspect we'll get this cleared up either today or tomorrow and at least have the home-study officially completed by Monday. Both of the agency's contacts we deal with are very nice and intelligent and they'll figure out that this is a bit of an infinite loop that just needs a little work around. |

Steve - I think your cool head about these snags will serve you well down the line when things have a greater chance of getting interesting. Congrats on almost being done with your homestudy!

"The two greatest obstacles to democracy in the United States are, first, the widespread delusion among the poor that we have a democracy, and second, the chronic terror among the rich, lest we get it."
