How often did you/are you checking with your agency?

[pixy0stix]

Because I haven't. At all. Our book is in and we're just waiting. I can't figure out if checking in will make me more or less anxious.

Also, I realize the board is dead right now, so I thought I'd break the ice.

We are all done, but I used to check in monthly to see how many times our book went out. I know it is SO hard.

We were foster adopt so no book or any of that but I am certain it would have driven me nuts either way. I recently sold my house and kept a crazy spreadsheet with all the houses in the neighborhood and how long tim they went pending, $/sf, etc etc etc.

Our agency sent a monthly email with details about how many times we were shown. We had phone check ins every 6 months or so.

Pretty regularly- once approved probably almost daily by e-mail or text.  She would also update us though as well.  This was foster care adoption, but a private agency was handling the match so their caseloads were more manageable.

About every 4-6 weeks, which at first our SW thought was too often. But we got a lot of looks at our profile the first month or so

With one agency, we were every 3 months checking in. With the agency we adopted through, we were matched immediately so check-ins were far more frequent.

How are you doing? How is your journey going, pixy0stix?
