Dear Home Study Adoption Agency:
Thanks for performing our home study. We were very pleased with the results.
However, we were just wondering if you realize how important the finalized document is to us? That every minute that passes by, it feels like our daughter is enduring another minute in the orphanage that perhaps she doesn't need to. That while our home study papers are shuffling from desk to desk, our daughter is being born, abandoned and living in overcrowded conditions with no one to really love her for her sweet self.
Perhaps now that you are aware, you could work on shuffling the papers a little faster, moving things along a little quicker. I'm sure that you can't imagine her pleading little scared eyes like we can, and you don't probably long to touch her beautiful hair either. But we are on the clock, and WE WANT OUR BABY.
Any help would be greatly appreciated, and any updates will be devoured eagerly.
(Gratuitous smiley faces to show no hard feelings...)
Thanks,
K. and A.
You know what I have to say? To borrow a phrase from Charles Schultz and Snoopy, and also from Hong Kong Phooey:
"Phooey."

It's fine fine balnace. I wanted to be pushy, but not to the point where the social worker would add to the homestudy, "she is one pushy, pain-in-the ass bitch!"
