I found this board from lurking over on TB. I hope it's ok to do an intro. My husband and I are pursuing DIA. We've been married for 9 years and dealing with IF for 6 of those years. We are so excited to be moving forward with adoption!
We aren't really sharing out plans with anyone outside of family and very close friends, and I'm sure they are tired of hearing us talk about it. I'm glad to have (hopefully) found a place to talk about it with others who are going through the same thing.
We are working with a national agency and have submitted our portfolio and video. We are just waiting on our home study to be completed. We had our final HS visit on, February 4th, and just got the draft this evening. We just spent the last SIX hours reviewing it and making corrections, and had to give up for the night. We gave our SW the checklist from the agency, but I guess she didn't look at it, because it's missing half the required information. We went through someone local for the home study, and she's a one woman show, so we are at her mercy.
Hopefully she'll make the corrections quickly so we can submit it and be active. Then comes the big wait. We are feeling frustrated that once it's submitted, many of the supporting documents will already be 4 months old.
Thanks for letting me intro and then vent! I hope to get to "know" you all through this exciting journey!!

Welcome! I remember being crazy for our initial HS to get completed...it seems to all move so slowly. We had a similar long IF past and for me it was such a relief to be done with that and be all in on adoption. Anyway, I look forward to getting to know you

Welcome to the group! I hope you are able to get your report back quickly. It is so difficult to be at the mercy of other people and their time lines. Hopefully this group can help you with your wait.
