If it's not one thing, it's another!

Well, we were given a copy of our homestudy recently.  Hooray!  Then we were dealt another blow.  They are having trouble assigning us an adoptions worker because I work for the agency (in another department, in another building).  Seems to me that if that was going to be an issue, they should have known before hand, told me about the potential problem, and tried to find a solution a lot earlier.  So here with are with homestudy dated for December, and don't have our worker.  We have decided to send out the study anyway!  I emailed a lady in Oregon today (they have the best Heart Galleries!), and asked if our lack of worker would be a problem.  She encouraged us to go ahead an inquire about a child, then update our inquiry as we go.  So Tim and I have a date to sit down tomorrow and finalize who will we inquire about first.  (I'm praying for a big fat sign telling us which babies are meant to be with us!)
I ordered photos tonight to include with our homestudies.  We are including a collage with pics of us and our home.  We want case workers to be able to put a face with a name when we submit our study.  Hopefully it will help us to stand out!
