Agency is working on making a Social Worker assignment now, although they are supposed to wait until the next round of paperwork comes back. They are trying to get things prepped so that we can "pull the trigger" as soon as possible.  I am doing all the advance work I can while we wait.  Have I mentioned that waiting is not my best event? :-)
Thanks for your prayers!
