O.k....so it's June now and I'm just itching to call our adoption agency. You know, just to let them hear my voice (because it's only been a month since I've reminded them the last time). I just want to help them remember that here we are...still waiting. Still waiting for a referral... Would that be wrong?
You see, I come from a long line of "not-so-good waiters". Christmas is a perfect example. Pick anyone in my family...my little brother for instance. I had mailed him his Christmas gift a little early and FedEx had barely left the building by the time he had opened the gift and was wearing it. It was a Christmas gift! My mom...when she comes to visit, she begins counting down the days months in advance. Months, I tell you. And don't even ask me how I did when I was pregnant with all three of my kids...I about went crazy (and I had the due date!) So you see..."not-so-good waiters" here. I can't help it.
So now I am stuck...stuck coming up with a good excuse, no...a reason to call for an update on our adoption. I need a good one...
Got any suggestions???

You should mail them homemade cookies and wait for them to call and thank you. Then they will have to call you, right?
ReplyDeleteI totally understand the not so good waiting. I used to think I needed to come up with good excuses to call our agency too. That was our first adoption. But I have found out that many, many moms email or call their agencies TONS, so with this adoption I have been much freer to just send the email I am itching to send.
ReplyDeleteThe homemade cookies idea may work too. :)
I totally understand the not so good waiting. Right there with you.
ReplyDeleteI never thought of the homemade cookie idea. Hmmmm.
This adoption, though, if I feel I need to hear a word from my agency, I just send the email. Our first adoption I was much more hesitant, thinking I was "bugging" my caseworker. But I have found many, many moms call, email A LOT, so I figure I can email when I need to.
Good luck!
