Finally It's Up

Our letter that is. We turned in our letter a little over three weeks ago and they finally put it up on the website today. After a little reminder from me.

This is the first major frustration from our agency(so I should feel lucky). When we turned in the letter I asked how long it will take to be put up on the website (they've been showing our letter since they got it, but prospective birth mother's look at the website too) and was told by our caseworker that she couldn't give me a date, the IT guy would put it up when he got around to it.

I wasn't overly thrilled at this answer since we had to fork over $1,000 when we turned in our letter. So I let it go thinking it would be put up by the end of the week. Well it wasn't and I started to silently fret. I didn't really want to ruffle any feathers seeing as these are the people who are in control of our future status as parents. Finally, last night we checked the website again and it was STILL NOT UP. We sent an e-mail to our case worker about 5:00 yesterday and at 9:00 this morning the letter was up.

I still do not think that this is ok. From what we've been told there are more babies than parents. If this is the case it would stand to reason that they would not be having a large intake of letters. So why does this take so long? I'm upset (even though it's a little trivial I still feel like it should have been handled quicker) and what about the people who just assume it's up and don't check? I don't think there are many of those, but you never know. I know the other two couples who went through the process the same time we did don't have their letters up yet. And that could be because they haven't turned them in, but what if it's not? We are giving these people a lot of money, they should have better quality control.

Well that was my rant for the week. I've got pictures of the nursery waiting on my camera to upload I just have to find the time.
