What the..........

So, I have said many, many times how humbling this experience is. We went to homestudy committee with our agency a couple of weeks ago. The next day we got a call basically saying "yea sorry not right now". We had to pry & pry to get ANY type of explanation. We were finally given a generic answer that our girls were too young & they felt they weren't far enough into their placement. The girls placement is 2.5 years old. After everything they didn't even feel like we deserved an explanation past 2 sentences. Like we weren't real people with real kids & a real family. I honestly believe it had NOTHING to do with "US" (they told us repeatedly our family was perfect & we couldn't change anything) and had everything to do with my tendencies to voice my disgust with their unprofessional nature as a whole. Our last experience with them was a train wreck, mainly due to their inexperienced & untrained staff. They tossed me, my husband & our girls to the wolves. We had to educate their employees on what their own policies were according to their manual. We debated even licensing through them this time, against our better judgement we did it anyway. We felt that there was still an established relationship there & maybe things had changed since we were there last. After taking a few weeks to think everything through we decided to move forward with a different agency. We met with them last night & felt really good about it. We took them copies of everything we had done with our old agency, as well as a new application etc. At this point they are reviewing our application & requesting copies of all of our documents from our old agency. After that they will assess things & let us know what they think. We have a great optimistic feeling about this agency & how personal their whole process is. The people who approve your homestudy are people who have been working with you the ENTIRE process, not people who have NEVER met you & look at you as nothing but a file folder. I will update a little when we know a little more & whether we ultimately decide to move forward with them!
