Levi's sleeping habits didn't last two nights in a row. Darn! Oh, well. It still wasn't too bad. He is still a very good eater and sleeper, so no complaints here.
Today I was able to reach out to several (almost 20) adoption agencies in Texas. In Texas, adoption agencies will only do home studies for their own clients. For an independent adoption - such as ours - you would hire a contract social worker to do your home study. However, that is not acceptable to Kentucky, so I had to find a licensed adoption agency that would do the home study for our situation. I finally found someone that could help! We are getting the ball rolling on this right away. It could take about two weeks to complete.
I was also able to contact the ICPC (Interstate Compact on the Placement of Children) administrator in Texas. She sent me a list of the items that we will need to provide. It was pretty clear cut. I don't think we'll have too many issues meeting their requirements.
The ICPC Administrator in Kentucky was out of the office today. I hope to get in touch with her on Monday to get a similar list of requirements.
We have completed the paperwork for the Temporary Custody Order and Levi & I expect to get in front of a judge some time next week. Once that is done, we will hopefully get a better idea of when we might be able to return to Texas. We love the time visiting with the family, but can't wait to get home to Rob! It is killing him that we are not there with him - or that he isn't here with us dealing with this situation. He is contributing by filling out all the crazy forms that need to be completed. He works all day, then spends his evenings in front of the computer working on things like forms and research.
Mimi & Papa DeVol have enjoyed visiting with him and he certainly enjoyed being spoiled by them. He found a new "nap buddy" in Papa D.
We are looking forward to "tailgating" at Aunt Ra's place tomorrow night. Levi already has his UK gear all set to go. GO CATS!
