OMG, that's so exciting! Chat Icon Chat Icon Chat Icon I didn't realize that you could give a book of pictures to the birthmom. That's great -- gives me something to do while I wait. I'm starting to get annoyed with this wait. I'm emailed NB last night ... I may call on my cell phone on my lunch break -- bc I know they received my pkg (I got a certified mail receipt on 2/6). How long do you normally hae to wait to get an assigned social worker?

Sandra, I'm SO excited that Scott finished his autobiography! Chat Icon

Jenn,

How many pictures did you put together and what type of booklet did you put it in? Will your letter be translated at NB or SWS?

Of course, all his writing by hand ended up being only 1page typed, so I had to add to it to make it a full 3 pages.

Re: Talked To New Beginnings

Well, they had my completed pkg in hand by 2/6 and they told me i'd probably hear from them the week of the 20th, so that expect a bit over a two week wait. Who knows though -- since you sent yours in bits at a time, they have already made progress with yours. I love how we're always on the same schedule, Sandra. Chat Icon

Got my I600A in the mail today...exactly 12 days from the date we sent our packets in. On the cover letter, they said we'd have a social worker assigned to us within four weeks. Hope this helps determine when you'll hear from NB, Sandra....
