This summer has gone by fast. I only have one more full day of summer vacation and then start back to work. Honestly, I'm not quite ready to return.....I know, I have a lot of time off compared to others, but I do earn that time off. I think one of the big reasons I'm not looking forward to next week is all the changes that are going to happen. A few weeks ago I found out my regional director was leaving......we all kind of thought it might be a possibility, but it happened really quick. So, now the agency has redrawn the regional lines and we have a new regional in charge of us. I can say I have heard really good things about her, but now I have someone new to catch up on the whole international adoption process and what that might mean for this year. We will also have a new school social worker starting, who it looks like I will be mentoring. Believe it or not there is a lot of paper work that goes into our jobs and lots of laws and regulations that we have to know. I can say I am looking forward to seeing my amazing co-workers....I honestly couldn't ask for a better group to work with. I am also looking forward to checking in with the kids. They are always so excited to be back at school and tell you everything :)
As for adoption news.....well I am waiting for my FBI fingerprints to come back for my homestudy. Once I get my homestudy update it is USCIS time, again. Will the paper work ever end? It is also a quiet time with the MOJ, they are out on their summer break. So, not a lot of adoption news.
enjoy your school year :)
