Friends, I'm stunned. Our prayers have been answered  <- happy tears. I'm absolutely exhausted but wanted to come here and thank you all.
We have been accepted by agency 3! We had a 2.5 hour meeting which began with a warm greeting, a description of what was in our file, direction on what needed to be finished, and questions about why we left the first agency and what we expected of their agency. Believe it or not, all the incorrect information we had removed from our file had been given verbally to agency 3 by the agency 1 case worker anyway  . But an even bigger believe it or not, our new case worker knows the original case worker and after hearing our side of the story, not only believed us, she also apologized for what we had been put through by the two other agencies! She said, "Leave it all behind. We're starting fresh today. Let's work to have you licensed by the end of October." God is SO Good! I had begged Him to help me know if we were on the right track "by the end of October" figuring that would be nine months since we started...nine months to get us ready to receive a child  .
Thank you, thank you, and thank you again and please add M., our case worker, to your prayers.
Love,

Many prayers of thanksgiving for you and your dear family, Angie. You all (and your caseworker) will continue in our prayers, esp. our Rosary each night.

Case worker is added to prayers!!! I just can't tell you how hard our family is praying. We want these children in our family, too!  Who says you don't go through labor pains with foster/adoption? I'm just so happy you're finally in good hands.
Love you, big sister!

Happy dance for you, Angie!!!
Good case workers deserve prayer - they have hard jobs. I am so thankful you've found an agency and case worker that quickly realized the obvious.
