This post will be short, since I've already written one for the week. If you recall in my last post, I stated that we had one more agency to check out. Well, we had been playing phone tag with them for a while, and I finally got in touch with them this week. Bad news friends, they are not accepting families. Apparently there is a decline in birth mothers in the state of IL, and, as such, agency #4 wants to keep the supply and demand at a realistic, even level. Because of that, we tried a fifth agency that my family has used, and they too are only taking the most qualified applicants. We left our information with them to see if we would qualify, and we will find out via mail if we are allowed to apply. Needless to say, we aren't holding much hope considering how I called them about three weeks ago, and our mailbox is empty. Strike out for us on agencies #4 and #5. With that being said, we are pleased to announce our agency!!! Saint Mary's Services of Arlington Heights aka Agency #3. We are so thrilled to be working with such an amazing agency, and look forward to the next steps of the process. One step closer to Baby S! Next step? Makin' those Benjamins!
Geez. I never would have expected a shortage of birth parents. It sounds like you really loved the third agency anyway, so this will work out just perfectly after all.
