Dave finally got through to our caseworker and got a home visit scheduled. Now, I'm not sure how all agencies work and how timely they are, but I really think this is bogus. We first met with her in November, handed in references and some other paperwork in December, and then everything else the first week of January. This week she just sent out our reference letters to be filled out and she can't fit us in for the home visit till March 7th! Plus, it will take her at least a month to write it up! Here I was hoping to be approved at the latest at the end of this month! Now I doubt it will be done in March...
God is in control, but sometimes I feel like others are ruining this experience for me or allowing my child to go to someone else cause they took too long. I know that isn't true, but I was never a patient person...sometimes I feel I deserve something to go fast since I've been dealt IF...really, does everything in my life require a long wait?

I'm the same as you. It's hard waiting knowing if you were the one doing it, it would be done.
I know what you mean. We turned in everything with our adoption agency in October and they are still working on writing our home study...it seems like they don't get in any kind of hurry. I do know that everything happens for a reason and maybe there is a reason everything is delayed. Maybe if you were finished with all of your paper work you would miss the opportunity to adopt the child God has picked out for you to be parents of. We just never know.
It must be a social worker mentality. We went through the same thing trying to get our home study done, but now that it's done, we're still waiting for approval. I'm sorry that you have to experience this mess. I thought the same thing as you...our child could be waiting for us and they are taking their sweet time. Hopefully your time will pass quickly. Have you started working on the nursery? This is the only thing that keeps me positive these days.
I'm sorry to hear you are having such frustrations. God will turn all things for his good work! Just think, maybe this person's delay is actually ensuring that you are matched with your baby. Maybe your baby isn't even conceived yet and this delay will allow for the perfect timing. What ever it is I'm just sure it will overflow with evidence of Gods leading!
Also, I posted a blog last week with awards and then totally forgot to tell people about it. Soooo, while it's late, I have an award waiting for you!
