I mailed my signed homestudy yesterday morning and it arrived today. Now my agency will mail it off to Adoption Services and then I wait. I'm expecting the wait to be at least eight to ten weeks. The government probably won't get it until the end of next week so going by that the earliest I can expect to be approved at the end of April. Last time it took eleven weeks (hopefully it will be smoother this time though) so realistically I'm looking at mid-May. By the time I get and and get organized the earliest I can submit my dossier is June. The issue right now is that if I get a fast match I will have a big fee to pay that I won't be able to do without borrowing money. I'm trying to avoid that as much as possible. Right now it's looking like I won't have the funds until the end of October. There is some hope I'd be able to get it by the end of September but it's going to be tough. Right now I'm thinking of delaying submitting until the end of August. That way by the time my agency gets it, sends it to Bulgaria, and I get registered, the earliest I would get a referral would be after the September and I will be okay with that fee. Of course this is if I get a match right away. I could be waiting a lot longer. The issue is I won't know until the time comes and if I'm not prepared I'm screwed. If I save and then I'm waiting I'll just start saving the next fee. Better to be doing that than not be able to pay the fee. Sucks needing to delay but that's the reality right now.
