Frustrated and disappointed

Found out today that my Nevada agency doesn't think it can accommodate me with my budget. Maybe a percentage of 10% of their cases would work. So that is a no go. The back up plan also fell through. So now my BC agency is researching other agencies that already work with Canadians. This time we are going to ask the questions about their process to get the baby across the border and that timeline. Also I'm going to say what my budget is and if they think they can help me before I sign with them. Hopefully this third agency (when we find it!) is the last agency. So frustrated I actually questioned what I was doing for the first time.

Starting again

Chated with my BC agency today. They were positive and told me my budget was fine. They are telling the Nevada agency my exact budget and getting from them if they think they can find a baby in that range and what the time frames might be. We're fairly sure that with a bit of tweeking a baby can be found in my budget which is good. Also inquiring about a backup plan if needed (hopefully not). Waiting for responses. . . again :)

Bye Baby Bye Bye

So I heard yesterday that the emergency hearing was a pretty good shot. So I was up and then this morning I got the fee estimate and am very down. It's high, very high. Too high. So I had to say no to the September baby. Regrouping and deciding what to do and if I can get the fees down to my budget with any baby. what to do. I don't want to start over with a third agency! I have a phone appointment on Wednesday with my BC agency to discuss what the options are and where to go from here. Sad, but doing okay, mostly.

Asking for Financials

Still waiting for answers from the lawyer, but I'm proceeding as if the emergency custody will be granted. So my next step is to find out if I can afford this baby due in 6 weeks! Yikes! its getting close. So I've asked them to forward me the financial info based on the emergency hearing for guardianship working. So hopefully I have the financials this week. Mostly I'll admit I want to know for me emotionally and because I need to talk to my boss. Also this Saturday I'm going to a near by city to go shopping with my mom. This is when I'd like to do the last shopping I'd need to do for the baby if I get her in Sept. But I really don't want to get those last items and have them sitting in the nursery staring at me if September isn't the date. Oh well, I guess we'll see what happens ...
