Frustration..

I am beyond frustrated with this entire process! Everywhere we go, we get the run around and it's not fair to us or baby C! Apparently, she is in respite care this week end and the foster parents forgot to mention this to us.. These are the people who, according to their emails, are worried about how baby C will handle the move since she is "very schedule orientated" So why then, are we sending her to a family that she doesn't know for the week end? Not cool!

So, our CFS S.W. called today to review what has been done, check on the references and to state she got one in the mail! S.W. also mentioned that they were going to proceed with the home study even before the police checks come in.. But, we are headed on vacation in one week..Very exciting, then she proceed to tell Joel that she called our S.W in Ontario and he stated that the move wasn't happening anytime soon as they are waiting for a court date... Umm, baby C can wait here! CFS S.W. stated he was going to call us the previous day to tell us this, we did not receive a call. Right about now, I am at work, in tears, screaming in my head, there is a little baby involved here, not a puppy! Even this wouldn't be fair to a puppy! I have been researching online everything I can about kinship and know this is pure B.S., I know more than these S.Wer's! Anyways, I found something about an extended family visit, why has this never been mentioned before?? CFS S.W. stated she knew about it and they do it inter provincially and was going to try to find out more about it.. So, my trusted husband got to work..

Joel called S.W. in Ontario and wouldn't you know, he's gone on vacation and won't be back for a week, thanks for informing us there trusted S.Wer! Joel didn't stop there, he called S.W. supervisor and spoke with her. APPARENTLY ( and yes, bold is required) she had no clue about this new found waiting until court. Joel then asked her about an extended family visit and she said yes, they do it, but not to sure if they do it inter provincially.. Again why has this NOT be mentioned before? She WAS going to look into it.. In the meantime, she stated once everything is done with us ( and she said including the home study, we were told we can do that once baby C is here, under special circumstances) that baby C will be here ASAP and they will fly her out as soon as they found out! No consistency at all!

So, today was a set back, I'm not to sure what to believe anymore! Our original plan was to bring her to Newfoundland on our family vacation (Aug 12th), then it was to pick her up on our way back.. So now, we are investigating how much we will go in debt ( changing tickets is expensive!!) trying to change our tickets and headed to Ontario after Newfoundland, even if for a visit.. Our vacation to Newfoundland will be far from a vacation as I know being so far away and with limited access to a computer will cause a great deal of stress!

And that folks, is pure frustration all in a blog post! Enjoy!
