Frustrating!
Okay, our caseworker finally called us back today (we have tried to call her since Saturday to find out whether she had finished the paperwork and turned it in) and told us that she hadn't looked our record in about 3 weeks and that she didn't know if there was anything else we needed to do. She hasn't gotten our fingerprints yet, doesn't know whether to turn our study into Bibb County or Houston County etc, etc. Now, while she is a wonderfully nice person, we are really upset because other than the fingerprints she should have had everything else done. We talked to her just before Father's Day and she was going to have it turned in by the 13th of June. Wow! 1 month later and still not there. I am soooo frustrated right now I could cry! But, this means we won't be approved now until the end of August at the earliest. No children in our home before October now. Well, I guess that means I just need to pray and trust the Lord even more. He knows what is going on and knows why, too. I will focus on my children, my husband, my house, school and what I have at my fingertips now and allow everything else to happen in time as it will. The Lord is good through it all!
We have a contractor coming Monday to give us an estimate on our bathroom floor. Our insurance company wasn't helpful, so we are going to do it ourselves. It will cost us less in the long run to jus tpay someone to do it rather then having the insurance take care of it. Long story, but basically we know how they get their reputation! Praise the Lord anyway...His ways are the best, even when we don't think so!
Blessings,
JAD's Mama

Oh, darn. Well, that is apparently a "monkey's tool" in the process. Or, is it? I wonder if the timing of this is more critical than anyone can know. He might be using your caseworker's "glitch" in a way that is just too important for the child(ren) on the other side of the whole thing.
I'll be praying for you, your family, and your loving heart at home and with the adoption people.
Have a blessed day, and don't let this rob you of your joy in Christ. The enemy would just love that. ;')
Love you!

I am so sorry you are dealing with all of this. It is hard when others don't do what they are supposed to and then you have to get the raw end of the deal because of it. But you are right, God is good through it all!!
Thanks for the comment on my blog.
Hope all this works for your favor real soon!

I am sorry, I did get your message, thank you! I was actually meaning my family & friends here where I live. But then again YOU are my friend, too! THANK YOU Vania!!!!
I am SO sorry to here about your caseworker and her not really doing her job correctly. I will pray for you and your family, extra hard. We both know HE can change things around, when and if HE wants, too!!! That is MY problem, though, I want everything at MY time not His! I have NO patience, one of my downfalls! I'll be praying for you!
Love,
~Kelly~

I'm so sorry for the delays; the whole process sounds so frustrating. It will all be worth it in the end right!
