Adoption Part 4

I talked to our caseworker today because I needed to get some paperwork mailed to us.  It was not a very inspiring conversation.  She was nice, but the truth hurts sometimes.  She was wondering what age range Nathan and I were looking into as those who want to adopt young children are now on a waiting list that's pushing 5 years and she wanted us on that list as soon as possible if we were looking at that age.  We're not.  We're wanting school age and are trying to focus on the right child rather than the right age.  However, I just found out even that can take 3 years.  Now that is demoralizing.  Looks like I can be a nanny forever if I want.  :P  I think switching emphasis from the Georgia photo listing to the national one was probably the right idea.  I don't attach as easily, and it looks like if we want this to ever happen we might need a wider pool of possibilities.  Tomorrow is our second counselor visit, and our third appointment is already set up for the following week so we don't waste any more time.  Maybe we'll get good news there...Good morning to me!
