Finally
I am so pleased that there was REAL re-accrediation news today. I checked Steve and Debbie's blogs as soon as I got to the office. Then we received an email from our agency about 10:30AM that they participated in the July 4th ceremony. Our agency mentioned that all of the regions that they typically work with will be opening up again, and they may be working in a few additional regions as well. They expect to see "a dramatic increase in referrals" and suggested that we all get our paperwork updated (we are good... see the post from last week).

It's amazing how the re-accrediation process was weighing me down; I didn't realize the real impact it was having on my energy and moods. Today was re-invigorating. I worked 11 hours and hardly noticed. I openly talked about the adoption with a smile and excitement. I'm awake past 8:40PM and still have energy to do something else tonight.

I am hoping for good news for everyone else who is waiting for their re-accrediation news. After today, I'm back in excitement mode and ready to get this thing going!

I was and am right there with you.
I just had no excitement. But now... I can't stop smiling. And my agency isn't even accredited yet. But will be!

I hope your referrals come very quickly.

Hey Tricia,

Just checking to see where you are at with your up coming bundles of joy. I read your last two blogs and I am not a blogger but wanted you to know that sometimes your friends (aka me) may be afraid to ask as they don't want you to get more upset but now i know I should just ask.

This post is way exciting!! It is funny cause you were on my mind and i had to find this page so I could write and say Hi and YEAH!!!!
