Curiouser and curioser...

Feeling a little better today....just knowing that our agency is working 'round the clock to get these babies home is a relief.

Now, if someone could just figure out what the heck is going on with China??? and the USCIS???

Some people got skipped last month, some received referrals out of order...what's a girl to do with that sort of inconsistency from the program that was once touted as, if nothing else, pretty predictable and safe? It's crazy what a roller coaster ride it's been to build our family. Apparently the best way to ensure and easy road to parenthood is to be a teenage, unwed, drug-addicted, homeless high-school dropout. wow. I've been getting a little too involved in my cases! Sorry for the outburst :)

Our i-171h is set to expire in ohhh, let's see....about 10 days. We do not have our renewal in hand yet. We MUST have this one piece of paper in order to complete the adoption, or to be more accurate, to get back into the U.S. with our child. Pretty important. I AM FREAKING OUT! I was trying to give USCIS a little space -- some time to get this right without my intervention, but clearly I must give them a tiny nudge....hope they're ready. It's not going to be pretty. It's time to start stalking the Department of Homeland Security again! I have tried and tried to let them do the right thing on their own. It is obvious to me that NOTHING happens in that office without me bugging the crap out of them and taking charge of it myself. Not that I'm a control freak or anything. (psst...don't tell my therapist!)

Grace and courage to my children's birthparents...cyber kisses to my girls. Good night.
