Well, I think we may possibly have stumbled upon the actual truth, or some semblance thereof, anyway. Of course, I've thought that before . . .
After talking about it this afternoon, my husband decided to call Nicole to see if he could cut through all this bs and just get some answers from her. I know you'll be stunned (not) when I tell you that he got yet another, completely different, story.
O began the conversation by saying that he understood from the direc*tor that the holdup was our finger*print check from the state bureau of investigation .
No no no, that's not it. The fingerprints are back. The problem is that the county (Mia/Nicole) never sent our C*A*N form - a form used to run a child abuse/neglect check with some group or another.
Nicole apologized profusely several times, admitting that it was all their fault - that they messed up. She said that as of today, "all the paperwork needed to complete our home study" is still here at the county offices (our C*A*N form as well as the paperwork from our foster/adopt class) and "will go out Monday," when the woman who generates the C*A*N forms is back in the office. She's on vacation.
I guess she was on vacation last week and the week before too. Hrumph!
Mmmm hmmmm . . . . I've been at this place before, where I think that finally - FINALLY we're on our way. Call me cynical, but I'll believe it when I see it.
