In the past two weeks I have been experiencing some frustrations with my adoption agency. As you have read I am working on my pictures and have not gotten the timely feedback I wanted. Well, over my break, I got an email about a picture I took. It was of me and my friend Shannon's son Derrick. We were making a cake and D only had on his diaper. When you are two chocolate cake batter seems to go places so why dirty a shirt. The email I got asked me to PhotoShop a shirt on him. Really!! Are we the only people who think this picture was acceptable? After that email, I was not happy at all. I decided to wait before I responded and take some time to think about my response. A few days later, I emailed her back and just explained my frustrations with the pictures, feedback and the timeliness of the feedback. Guess what! I got an email back the next day by 9 am. Ummm....wonder why? I also received three other emails that day after sending in pictures. This week I have talked on the phone with her and received more emails this week then since the start of this in February. I guess not keeping silent did work in my favor. I guess I should have done this sooner. While I still want this done NOW, I am understanding where she is coming from and am just working on taking as many pictures as possible. I think I need about three more. It will happen but it seems I need to put my timetable to the side and let things happen as they happen.
