the process continues...

I'm feeling disappointed. Journeys just released their 2011 numbers, which were much worse than their 2010 numbers. In 2010, 80% of Oregon families had a placement within one month of being homestudy ready. In 2011, 43% of Northwest families had a placement within six months. So not only did the percentage go down, but the placement time was further out. I don't know what the difference is between Oregon families and Northwest families. For all I know we could have a better chance than other NW families because we actually live in the Metro area. I'm telling myself these hopeful things so that I feel a bit better, but I still feel really disappointed.
