It has been seven months ago that we rushed to get our homestudy finished so we could adopt Anthony........... who is still in foster care. I started calling on June 16th to check in with his adoption specialist. No returned calls and 5 more calls on my part; I get a hold of her and she informs me she no longer has his case. I get the name and number of the new adoption specialist where I call and have left two messages so far. All for the sake of adopting a baby that no one else seems to want. So what is the hold up? Why can't we get our boy home? Why the wait?
In the meantime; his foster mother is having surgery this week. Instead of him coming over here for the entire week; she has arranged day care for him half the week and we get him for the other half. I'm glad to have him at all; don't get me wrong. But there is something seriously wrong when you have a family loving him without any money attached and we're the only ones who DON'T get to spend time with him. Everyone else who is getting paid by the state to love him gets to see him. ???????????????? Does that make any sense? I'm tired and frustrated and ready for this to be over. But it's not like we're going to walk away. That's our baby. And until the state says otherwise; we will sit here with our hands tied and wait.
