Late yesterday evening, the senators office emailed us a copy of the 171-H. We quickly glanced at it and just started jumping up and down in excitement. Unfortunately, when we took a closer look at it the section that describes the child we are approved to adopt, it wasn't exactly what we requested. It stated that we were eligible to adopt one child, ages 0-18 months, of either gender. What it did not state is that we are open to adopt a child with special needs.
We contacted our program coordinator asking her what this meant. She said that this happens often and that she believes she can take care of the situation for us on Monday. We asked if they just didn't approve us to adopt a special needs child due to money or resources, and she didn't see any reason why they would have said no.
Even with the misunderstanding, we are still able to turn in our dossier before the deadline. Yeah, for that!!! Now we just wait to see what our coordinator finds out to see what our next step is.
