Still waiting...

So it's now a month later and they're still only processing paperwork from May 15th. Argh!

Karen called the person handling adoptions at CIS six times and she didn't answer the phone once! So Karen left 6 polite voicemails, and she never returned any of them!

Then Karen spent several hours getting the runaround from their 1-800 number, only to be pawned off from one unhelpful bureaucrat to the next and finally told we'd have to drive back to San Antonio for any information. The same place where we'd spent all day in a waiting room just to have our fingerprints taken. There's no question that that would just be another day wasted.

So a little over a week ago I wrote to our Senators (Hutchinson and Cornyn) and Representative (Smith) asking for some help in finding out the status of our paperwork.

Today I got a call back from someone at Congressman Smith's office. I just faxed her my release form, and she said I can expect to hear back in 2 weeks with some info about where we are. She said they can't expidite our case though :(

So we're crossing our fingers that we'll get past this hurdle before too much longer.
Wish us luck!
