Home Visit Completed

Our social worker visited this Monday for our homevisit, which is the last step before she writes the homestudy. She thought the house was "lovely" and we talked more about stuff we've talked about before and things went well....well, until the end when she dropped the bomb that she would be away next week and then had others to write so the homstudy won't be done for around 5 weeks!!!!! What is going on here? Why is this so difficult? From start to finish with China it took 3 months-that's it, just 3 months!!! We begun this officially in May and Korea is actually easier than the China paperwork and at this rate it will be lucky to make it to Korea by Christmas!!!! I just wanted to cry! For the whole month of July we just sat around and waited for the homevisit and now for the whole month of August we'll just sit around and wait for what? our turn so she can write it. As you can I'm feeling really beaten down. The wait for Korea has increased in this amount of time our social worker drags her feet. She really doesn't understand our sense of URGENCY!!! We need to officially get on a list HURRY UP
Oh, and another little glitch. Our immigratiion and fingerprints expire for China soon and the original plan was to just do a change of country to Korea. But.... without the darn homstudy we can't apply with Korea yet. So, we put a call into someone and maybe they can help.(we aren't holding our breath) Our social worker didn't appear to concerned, I think she thinks its our problem not hers.
Just had to vent!!! What do I keep telling myself? All these little obstacles will bring us to the child thats meant to be ours. We're just so ready now. It really shouldn't have to be this hard!!!
