For me, typically, change comes in the form of a fog suddenly lifting. At work, and home, at school, whatever. Knowing this is both a blessing and a burden: it makes it hard to kick the procrastination habit, because there is a high likelihood of a spectacular resolution and finish.
To get to the point: I think we might have a plan for moving forward. It does not involve adoption, yet. It does involve going to see a new RE. I find this both terrifying and exhilarating. It wasn't me who made the suggestion, which is sort of shocking. I have many ducks to get in a row, and then I'll be back with more information, maybe when my thoughts are in better order.
Well, that is out of the blue! Looking forward to hearing about the new plan.

Yay! I'm so glad to see you posting. I can't wait to hear about the plan.

You don't know how much I had wished this for you. Even if things are still very tentative, you are talking about it.

Good Luck, whatever it is!

I was so pleased to see via Bloglines that you'd updated. I look forward to hearing about the plan once it's more concrete and you're ready to discuss it.

I think that's a brilliant plan, actually. Sometimes the simplest steps bring the greatest change. And a new pair of eyes on your results can only help.

sometimes it's having a plan that makes all the difference. Suddenly you can feel like you're taking control rather than being helplessly buffeted by forces that are beyond your control.
Good on you!

You have made a great step in the right direction. We recently switched RE's and couldn't be happier. This RE is so much more thorough and focused on finding out what's going wrong. I wish you much success with your new RE!
