"Always some confusion going on"

Well today we had our updated homestudy for the extension of the I-171 I can't believe it has been almost 18 months. Adoptions seem to take forever. The worst part is not always getting a straight answer and never feeling like you are on the same page with the Agency. I know the time is so sensitive right now and it has suddenly become more aggressive and very uncertain at this time. I have up and down days with this whole process. I'm sure that many PAP or AP can attest to that. I see all these stories about happy endings and I am hoping and praying that will be the same for me...
