It is taking forever to get the I800a form back. For those of you who don't know the "adoption lingo" that is some form that has to go to INS. Once they take a look at it they send me a form to get our fingerprints for our VISAs. It's been almost 7 weeks and still no appointment for fingerprints. Waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa!!!
The adoption agency is calling INS every other day. They are also submitting some form to speed up INS. Ha! Speed up the government. Good one.
If this form doesn't work they'll have to get GA's sentator, Johnny Isakson, involved. I'm just so over this. I asked if there was anybody I could call and bless out. They said no. Dangit!! I really need to unload on the government employee who is holding up the process. And people wonder why I REALLY dislike the government. Hmmm???
The super, fantastic, incredible news I got last week came in the form of pictures. They sent me pictures from the orphanage!! I screamed and cried and smiled! And then I did them all over again. I also showed everyone around me the pictures. Since David was at work and all my friends weren't around I had to show them to the Home Depot guy and the ladies at the dry cleaners. Bless their hearts, they pretended to be happy for me at least.
It was great taking the pictures to church yesterday and showing him off. Everyone clucked over him just as I had hoped. It was great. Now they have a picture in their heads of the little boy they've been praying for.
I'm hoping I can put his pictures here on my blog. We'll have to wait and see though. They are very funny about putting kid's pictures out there.
In other news, Calvin signed up for football. I think it is a conspiracy b/w my son and my husband to see how much stress I can take. He'll be playing for a home school league but I hear they are fierce. Great.... Calvin is tall and thin. He wants to play wide receiver. I assume this means he wants to be the one to catch the ball when the QB throws it. Eeek! I just hope he's fast.
I hope all of y'all are doing well. Thanks for reading!
