Some Progress

Wow, has it really been over a month since my last post?!?!

Its been an interesting few weeks... Someday maybe ill write about all the pieces of what has been going on but for now ill focus on just two of them.

1. WE HAVE A COURT DATE!!! After months of no progress we are finally seeing some movement. The Director of Social Welfare in the region where our case was originally filed is holding his stance on not processing any cases during the suspension. So, our attorney decided to withdraw our case from that court and file it in another court. We were promptly given a court date of December 17th! As long as this director writes and submits the social enquiry report by this date, we could finally be Kwe's legal parents. Our attorney seems optimistic and I dont think he would have made this move if he didnt feel pretty confident.

2. Also this month I have been processing a huge career change. Due to significant federal budget cuts, my position is being eliminated. This came as a huge shock to me and has been difficult to work through. I love my job and my team and saw myself being there for a long time. It is incredibly difficult to be told that you can no longer do what you love. I was very fortunate though to be offered a few different options and one specifically that leadership really wanted me to consider. I have decided to accept that position and will be doing performance improvement, data quality/reporting and donor development for the agency. This is definitely a shift for me but I will be learning critical skills in agency administration and meeting lots of awesome people!

That's our updates! Short and sweet...not very eloquent but its something!
