We are now planning on leaving the 2nd week in Jan. due to the fact that Homeland security never sent our finger print updates. After a 3 day attempt to get in touch with them we finally got ahold of someone and after a couple of days looking for our file found it on a vacant desk (updates were done 6 months ago) and now they won't use them, go figure, they are the ones who lost them! How do people run businesses the way they do???? We are on like the 5th agency who has lost our paperwork!!! We are now in waiting mode as we wait for our appointment to redo the prints. Then they have to be processed, sent back to the office that lost them and then they will be sent off to Taiwan, all during the holidays. Good luck with that!!Our Visa appointment has been reset but we are afraid to buy plane tickets and make reservations! And to top it off when Brother Skiles went to set the new visa date he was told our passports wwere suppose to be certified???? Our government issued the passports, now they don't trust themselves?? That I do get! I don't trust them either :-) Anyway brother Skiles told them he has done over 400 adoptions and they have yet to ask anyone else for certified passports so why now? The lady said it must of been an over site on their part. Brother Skiles said that is a very big over site if you have over looked it 400 time!! They said they will let it slide for us but he now has to have it done for all the other adoptions. I am starting to feel like we will never get Braeley home. It was a very hard Christmas! We went to all the family functions but we have decided to ask Santa to bring our family presents when Braeley gets home so she will not have missed another Christmas. Ever heard of Christmas in July???? We just might be doing one if we don't get all this paperwork fixed and in the right direction! Anyway Braeley was moved to the orphanage awhile back and brother Skiles sent us new pictures! She is such a beautiful little girl but right now one very sad little girl! We are told she is doing well but she is very stubborn! I wonder what happened???
Please pray for the last part of this journey to finally be behind us! For Safe travels and a easy gotcha day!Debby
