Well, I think it has been a little over a month since I have been "approve" for Sac County, and have only had one call. Two girls, ages 1 and 2, but the social worker didn't have any info about where it was going, or what could happen. So I said no, it was hard...but I did. I haven't heard from my social worker in about 2 weeks, no idea where she is.
So again I know too much, i know babies are being taken and placed into homes, so is it that they are using county homes first, emergency placement then they will look later, or straight up it is because I am a county worker. So is this considered discrimination?? And what do I do, I can't do anything. I can't talk to anyone because then it could look like favoritism...But I don't want to sit and do nothing anymore. This week I had to get my A/C fixed (1300 bucks later) but the guy had to go into the attic which is in the baby's room. So of course he asked me about my child, and I had to say, "actually i am just waiting, so I have this room." It sounds kind of stupid, of course I explained why and he said that he and his girlfriend have a 6 month old, but she is adopted ad they have considered adoption, which was cool.
Here is the best one, so i found an adoption meet up group through a recommendation of someone. They turned me down to join the group because it was only for people who have kids in their home...LOL...i don't even know what to do with that. Seems it would be good for everyone to support each other.
So maybe i just consider doing foster placement for babies....and then maybe it will fall in my lap, though i am on that list right now. Maybe i don't get a baby, I don't know. I am overtired, haven't been sleeping and just don't even know what to do with myself. Everyone and everything gets on my nerve, especially work.
So that's my update for now, it sucks, but apparently this is the life of county employee trying to adopt.
