Contact

Hallelujah, we've had contact! I finally received an email from my agency yesterday. Yep, I have an agency again. All right. It's hard to say how long it will be before anything actually starts moving and referrals start coming in -- probably not until spring from what I've gleaned from various sources. I'm so passive and "whatever"at this point that I'm okay with whatever happens. Life will continue on and at some point, I will become the mother of two. Hey, it's all good. I'm feeling better now that I have some perspective. I am determined to continue living life and even possibly changing jobs.
I am encouraged by contact though. I'm glad to here Imagine is back, and just hope they make wise choices, and that each family who voted to continue will fork over the cash. My mam offered to pay the extra cost. I won't let her, but I'm pretty blown away by the generosity. Hopefully I can keep up my current level of patience and optimism. I was doing just fine at 8+ months into the wait before the bottom fell out from under us all.
