Mood: 
It seems like it has been such a long road to get here that it would be a shame to give up, but we are no longer receiving any feedback (no responses to voicemail or emails) from Child & Family Services, and to me that seems like a BAD sign. I just feel like maybe we have been turned down and that they aren't contacting us because they don't want to tell us. It probably is one of the things they HATE to do and we are just being put off.
I know people say - well of course you have been approved, but you never know. Because of where I work (a private adoption agency), and because we help complete home assessments for CFS, I do know that some people are turned down, and sometimes I am surprised but I don't meet the families. We have a cute house, but it IS small (and a rental). Hubby also struggled for awhile with a mental illness, (Intermittent Explosive Disorder) but has been stable and had NO problems for a couple years now, but there is such a stigma. It didn't help that the week of our first meeting with the AW, there was an editorial cartoon about IED because some guy used it as an excuse for road rage (what a crock!)...
Well you know what, this pity party is stressing me out so I am going to sign off for now...
