Getting my friends to send back reference letters should be the easy part of this journey, right? Well, it was...kinda. Getting them to fill them out and send them back was easy. Waiting for the snail mail to deliver them was the hard part. Confirmation from person "A" that it was mailed 3/28. Person "B" said it was mailed 3/30. Person "C" mailed it on 4/2 and person "D" was out of town (which I didn't realize) so I expected that to be delayed. The social worker (or is it case worker? I guess she's the case worker, not social worker...or are they basically the same thing? I don't even know. How sad is that? lol) Anyway, we'll call her Harriet...Harriet said they only needed 3 of the 4 returned to move on to the next step. I figured, no worries, 3 of them were mailed between 3/28 and 4/2 so they should arrive a few days after that, right? Um, that's a big "N-O!"
I emailed her on 4/6 just letting her know that 3 of them were mailed and she should have them any day. I was stressing over emailing her at all. I don't want to appear too anxious and annoy her. Or will it look like I'm on top of things? Stressful!!! lol Anyway, she replied and said she only had one so far. I wasn't overly concerned, I figured the others should arrive any day. Well, day after day went by and I heard nothing. NOW my mind goes crazy with "maybe she doesn't like us" or "maybe she doesn't think we'll be good parents and she's avoiding calling us" or even "maybe my friends don't like us as much as we thought and we got bad referrals!" LOL I sometimes think I'm insane!
Finally, finally, finally she got at least 3 of the letters and she called me on 4/13 to schedule the next appointment for 4/15. And there we come to the next blog. To be continued.... ;)
(I couldn't decide between the two photos for this blog..lol So we just use them both! Shout out to Princess Bride!)
