BIG Chicken

Well, the FedEx package is out for delivery. It's currently in Lake Oswego, OR. (I just love MyFedEx!) It should be delivered to my new program director, Radu, today. SO, we are officially with our new agency, AA, now.
Why haven't I called CHI? Because I'm a BIG CHICKEN. Although my husband reminds me daily this was a "business decision" I am a people pleaser by nature, and cannot bear the thought of huring my CHI adoption consultant's feelings. I don't want to hear the disappointment in her voice, or have to answer questions on why we left. I don't want to leave via fax, email or letter, because that seems to cold and impersonal, given the warm relationship we have shared since April.
I know I need to do this, if for nothing else, then to try to re-coup some of our paid program fees. I should think of it like a band-aide -- the quicker you rip it off, the better in the end. Sure, there is the initial sting of the reality that the bandage has been removed, and likely a few hairs uprooted in the process, but then it's over quickly. Okay. that's not helping either.
Any BTDT advice??

You can do it! I totally understand your hesitation though. I would be sick over having to make that call. I know I am pathetic and I hate confrontation of any kind. But you will feel so much better after you get it over with.

We did leave our first agency via an email. I figured with their lack of communication that I really didn't owe them much more than that. BUT we had to write a letter and have it notarized to "officially" leave them.

We didn't leave our agency but I'm from Oregon so it was fun to see where your fed ex is - those are my old stompin grounds. Best of luck with your new agency.
