And....We Wait!

A friend of mine pointed out that there have been no recent posts, so I figured I should go ahead and update even though there really feels like there is nothing to update....

We still have heard NOTHING from our case worker.  We waited for 2 weeks after Christmas and went ahead and called...and Mama S talked to an answering machine.  Waited a week after she called and then I called and again talked to an answering machine (this was last week).  Maybe they have gotten backed up from the holidays....maybe they are waiting on our references....maybe they were waiting to make sure our newly elected political officials weren't going to mess with the repeal.  I have no idea what is taking so long, but it's making us both a bit mental.  The good news is that it has allowed us to get closer on finishing all the little things we need to have done to feel good about our Home study.  Did I mention it's making us both a bit mental?  If we don't hear anything back by the middle of this week I'm going to call and see if I can talk to someone further up the chain of command, as it's been over a month since they received our file and we should have heard something at this point.  

On a lighter, less anxious note....I found the cutest bumper sticker for when we finally do get our kiddos. Check it out:
I had to include the link as the sticker is copyrighted.  It really is cute and pretty subtle (as far as most gay stickers are concerned).

One last bit of rambling.  NPR announced Thursday that our new Governor and Attorney General have both declared that they will NOT be appealing the repeal!  They also reported that the new head of DCF (who is uber conservative) is not going to appeal either, which is VERY comforting.  The new Attorney General had made a campaign promise saying that she would be appealing the repeal.  Fortunately for us, she must have changed her mind.  Mama S and I will both be so relieved when we finally have our kiddo or two.  It will be nice when we won't have the chance that we can't have a family hanging over our heads.
