Almost active

I am almost active with the agency in Chicago. Sent off the phase 2 fees to become active and a few bits and pieces of paperwork they needed last Friday so just waiting for it to get there. Then I should be active and then just waiting again :)

Registered with new agency

Sorry for the hiatus. It took a bit to find a new agency and then to get a contract in place between my agency in BC and the new agency. And in the meantime I wasn't very good company :) The new agency is in Chicago. They currently have other canadians signed up with them and seem really down to earth. They fit into my budget and birthparent fees are included in the agency fees, so they aren't an unknown. I'm not feeling particularly escatic, but I think that is because this is agency number three, not because they aren't a good agency. Everything looks really good. I have been really frustrated and worried this last week. I had finished my application paperwork and had to wait until the contract between the agencies was signed. So on Monday I sent off my paperwork but it had to be there by October 1st when their fees changed (not in my favor). So I priority mailed it to which Canada Post says is overnight. I didn't quite believe that since I live rurally I figured it would take two days so i happily parted with my $40 (for an envelope!) to get it there quickly. But it got there yesterday! Thursday!! So I was nail bitting. And annoyed at the price I paid for quick service that almost really messed me up. But it made it, so everything is okay...for now :)
