Progress

Met with my social worker a week ago and she's finalizing the homestudy. I never expected it to be so long and it's a bit embarrassing that others who petitioned later than me are ready to travel. However, it's not her fault, nor mine, just the way things have fallen together. I've been househunting through this process and of course working full time and raising Jemma Rose.

Who just got her class assignment and will be, as expected, in a mixed first second grade class. I of course have mixed feelings about that as I want her to feel like and be treated as a second grader.

As for the dossier for Jing Jing (Amelie, Bellamy, Rebecca? still thinking through the names) I need to get my financial statement, personal letter and the letter from the Amherst Police Department and should be all set. Hopefully next week and then things can be reviewed by the dossier consultant. It seems so much more complicated this time than when I went for Jemma. I'm also a bit surprised that the agency isn't bugging me, wondering when the dossier will be ready.
