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.

I have been following your blog for a few months now. We are adoptive parents who had done fostering for six years. Our goal was not adoption, but one little girl changed our lives. We are much older parents. Know that there are those of us who have been through the difficult pre-adoptive process. All happens in God's time. I'm not sure what else I can say to help you at this time.
