Hope for the week to come

Here I am on Saturday, sitting at work, wondering if this week will bring forward movement with our USCIS approval. We need to have our California background check come in, and I believe it will. The lady at the office in Ca. seemed to be on the ball when I spoke to her last week. She was very helpful, and it all sounded done except for the paper she needed from WIAA. I know they got that on Thursday, so, hopefully that will come in early next week.

We are waiting on Tim's background clearances from Idaho and South Dakota. We haven't heard anything from them, so, if nothing comes in next week, I will have to start making phone calls.

This whole mess is due to the Hague treaty requiring background checks done for every state, and/or, country you have lived since you were 18 years old. We have lived in Utah for 26 years, but, that isn't good enough for the Hague. Luckily, Tim was stationed at only one air base the entire four years he was in the Air Force, so, that cut down the number of places to check.

Oh please, let it all come in this week so we can finally get our paperwork finished. Now that Mindy is done with Nationals and the play, we only have Miss Salem to prepare for, so, my mind is starting to have more time to think about the adoption. Not a good thing.
