First off, let me say this week has been a little crazy. I had sent both sets of paperwork off to each agency and on Mon. heard back from both Social Workers. They said everything was looking good and coming along well. Yippee!!! The local agency said I should be getting a call on Thurs. to start setting up the visits. Let's get on with it already!! LOL just anxious to get it done! The other thing I was told was to go ahead and have our I-600A switched to Korea and ask for the renewal. I did that, this way my paperwork won't be held up for Korea. Thanks Stella for giving me the heads up on that one!! Gotta love her, I don't know how she has dealt with all my questions! We have started on our photo album to send to Korea. I had told Rob I would just do it myself but I got a loud NO! to that. Hey, I wasn't going to argue, I think it is wonderful he wants to contribute and make sure it is just right. He is such a perfectionist, he is worse than I am. So...... 4 hours later, we have 2 pages done! Only 6 more to go!! He must have gone over each page atleast 10 times, he found a period missing here, a flower too close to the words there, it was just really cute to watch him. I finally told him we were done for the night and we could go back to it later, it was driving me batty!! Rob was so cute, he told me to ask if we could make the album bigger or put more pics in as he has a lot he wants to include. I am just so excited to see him get this involved with getting our baby. It just makes me fall in love with him all over again.
LOL Anyway, I am hoping to have more news on Fri about the home study!

Hello! I found you from the adopting from Korea Yahoo group... I just joined. Has your agency talked to you at all about Korea closing?? We JUST sent in our initial application to our agency and now I'm hearing all this stuff about Korea closing and agencies not accepting any more apps for Korea and long long wait times... It makes me nervous!
ReplyDeleteMy agency has not said anything about that. I have seen those rumors in the yahoo groups, they are saying 2012. There are agencies that will close their Korea program sometimes because they start to get a little backlogged and do not want to accept any more apps. If you have these concerns, I would call your agency and voice them and see what they tell you. You have to be comfortable with the agency and their responses. If you don't feel comfortable with what they are saying or feel they are being hesitant then I would say not to use them. This is an important event in your life and you have to trust the people you are working with that are suppose to make it happen. Of course any agency is going to warn you that they have no control over what a country does but they should be able to guage things and forewarn you if they know anything.
ReplyDeleteThanks! I did talk with my agency, but the Korea program coordinator was out of town for a week so I thought I'd see if others had heard anything from their agencies... Anyway, I heard back and all's good! They are saying that wait times are of course, a little longer than they used to be, but they're still planning on accepting apps now for placement in 2011! Yay!
