Agency Update - finally

After a week of going balistic and biting Sam's head off at ever chance, he called the agency and checked on where our update was. The response "oh, thanks for calling and reminding me I have to do that for you." WHAT?!?!?!?!? Then a few hours later I receive an email consisting of about 2 lines. Summed up: our status hasn't changed, wait times haven't changed. I was so pissed off I couldn't believe it. If you can get blown off over an email, that was certainly it. So me being me, I went straight to the source - the Director of all Asia programs and the woman who went on the trip. I layed it out about not feeling important and how I was hoping for more information in general and blah blah blah......the next day I received a very long email with lots of details that have brought peace back into my world.

She told us about the facility and how it's clean and very hospital like in the bedrooms but there are playrooms and an outside play area where the children spend most of their time. It's well staffed and not over crowded with kids. The main doctor is very dedicated and has worked there a long time and everyone seems very close to the children and cares a lot. All very nice things to hear when picturing your child in an institution.

She plans on touching base again with the director of the TRC Children's Home in August and hoping to get a more of an estimate for us on how our wait is looking. Our year anniversary is in October and we are not expecting anything before then and probably closer to the end of the year (hopefully not too long though). Feels good to feel normal again. At least for now. :)
