Hello Everyone

Hello everyone. I got got a virus on my computer and haven't had access for weeks. I haven't been able to check up on everyone. We had to totally rebuild our computer. I lost everything. All the files I had saved, all my pictures, every program needs to be reloaded and boy I didn't realize how depended on my computer I am. Well we are back and running and getting back on our feet and I will be catching up with everyone.

Still 2 years

Well we have been waiting now for 6 months. It has been almost a year since we started the adoption process and yet we still have 2 years to wait. I feel like a broken record. With the 30 month wait time now we still have 2 years. See my original post. I get sick to my stomach when I think about it. To make things worse we got a letter this week from our home study agency stating that they were ending their adoption program as of June 30. Our social worker will now longer be employed at the agency. The letter stated that they will finish our adoption process by an "employee of the agency." What does that mean? I do not want a new social worker the one we had was wonderful. She is an adoptive mother and also a birth mother. She has worked for this agency for 20 years and they are throwing her out with any severance pay or anything. What a thanks for her years of dedication and the hundreds of families she has brought together. I don't know if we are going to have to find a new agency. The next closest home study agency is in Lexington or Louisville which is an hours drive from here. Our agency now is literally 2 minutes away. I don't know how I can bear this for another 2 years.

Summer is Here!!

I am so excited. It is finally summer. The boys are out of school. It has stopped raining and of course went from 60 degrees to 90 in a day, but this is typical Cincinnati weather. My flowers are in full bloom. I have so many plans for the summer. We are going camping Fourth of July weekend to Mammoth cave with our really good friends. I can't wait. We went to the park today. We took a bike ride at Lunken Airport on Memorial Day. Lunken is really cool. It is concrete trail that circles a small airport so while you are biking, roller skating, running etc there are planes taking off and landing around you. I am so glad to have time doing things with the boys and not have school to worry about. The boys are a good age now, 7&4. Colby is big enough now to do alot of things we couldn't do just last year. I don't feel like I have to keep them within arms length in case they get lost. I am going to try and enjoy every minute because before you know it school will start again.
