New Plan

So it has been a while and a bit has changed :) There have been changes with J and with the adoption plans. I will post about J later. I had decided a while ago that I would give the adoption with the US with my current agency 1 year to go somewhere and then re-evaluate. While the one year anniversary was the end of Sept. So at the end of August I started researching other options out there for single women. I came across the Democratic Republic of the Congo (DRC). It seemed like a really good program and fit for me. I would be on a list moving up to the top, not waiting for a birthparent to pick me. Also my original plan 2.5 years ago was to adopt from Africa, so it was going back to my original plan. So I found an agency that was already working with Canadians in several provincies including Canada. I asked my agency in BC to research them and if they looked good to please sign a contract with them so I could work with them. This was after I had a conversation with the program director for DRC and was happy with the answers. So my agency started researching and working on a contract. This has taken many months. I finally got an email last week saying they had signed the contact and I could start my application process with the DRC agency. So Dec 24th I filled out the online application with them and am now just waiting for it to be processed. So as of right now I am still registered with the US and have started the process with a DRC agency. At some point soon I will hae to stop the process with the US due to financial reasons but will stay registered with them for as long as possible just in case. So there is my update for now. More will be happening now, so I will try to keep this blog updated more :)
