A Tale of Two Mamas

Trying to keep someone IN timeout

Homestudy complete!

December 20, 2007 at 5:44 pm · Filed under Actual posts about being moms, Rants

The social worker just came out a few minutes ago and finished doing the homestudy needed for me to adopt Graem. It’s so bizarre that we have to get so much in place in order for the adoption to occur.

I’m constantly shocked that straight people can pop out kids every 9 months and not have to go through any of this bullshit.

Okay - rant over.

Shawna,

NUTS! Ro and I still talk about how it was the longest period of time that we ever held hands when the social worker was here.

Mandy,
Isn’t it insane how much BS we have to go through just to get the kids that we want so desperately want - “approved” to be with us!?!?!

I find it shocking that NYS makes us have a homestudy after we’ve all been living together for three years now!

I can only imagine how much you guys had to go through for the international adoption….

Maybe I shouldn’t be bitching ;c )
