Hello Wall? BANG BANG BANG

Just after my last post, we received letters in the mail from the state of Arizona. Oh no.

Upon opening them, we found that the Commonwealth of Virginia (where we once lived) does not accept the standard interstate request for background info. Oh no, they have their own special little picky form. Nothing else will satisfy them.

So, we had to fill out new forms, get them notarized and sent back to the state so they could endorse them and forward them on to Virginia. And then we get to wait for them to respond and go back and forth.

I'm hoping to hear something by Christmas, at this point. Oh well. No one ever accused the government of being quick and efficient.

Until then, I will continue to bang my head against the wall.

In a Holding Pattern

We are waiting for the background results to come back from another state we lived in. They seem to be doing it the old fashioned way...walking down a hall and looking through files by hand, or something. It's taking forever.

While we wait, we continue to look at children available for adoption. I came across this video today. It is a few months old, but it is interesting to watch.



Please keep us in your prayers while the wheels of bureaucracy continue to slowly grind along.
