Update

Quote of the day from M.Bray, "Now we know what the kids feel like. They are victims of the system too."

In November, it will be two years since our adoption journey began, when the Holy Spirit broke our hearts over the kids who are left floundering in foster care, waiting to be adopted. Going into it, I expected it to be frustrating. It's has been completely frustrating. The total incompetency we've met every. step. of the way baffles me. (Yes, I know God is sovereign but it doesn't excuse ineptness.) Not ONE person has paid attention. Seriously, not one.

Today, I finally talked to the person from our county who became our social worker once our home study was  approved (back in April!) or so I was told in writing. She was referred by our agency and our state AND two months ago she was included in my correspondence with the state. Guess what! She doesn't deal with adoption. (What???) According to her, I should be talking with someone else, someone whose name has not been brought up. You would think that somewhere when I've called, emailed, and made inquiries along the way someone would have caught on to the mistake, especially since I explained what are intentions are every. step. of the way. But alas, they have not.

So I don't know what is suppose to be happening, who we are suppose to be dealing with, and if we even have a dog in this fight. We are approved, but basically, as it's finally been explained to me, we are to wait for the state to contact us. At this point, I'm so frustrated that's exactly what I am going to do. It doesn't appear I have a choice. M.Bray's assessment is truly sad and unfortunately from our experience truly real. I had hoped it would be better, especially for the kids' sake.
