I'll try to clarify this. It is confusing. My homestudy agency is differenct from my referring agency. We started our adoption for Russia w/ one agency. When we decided to switch to Guatamala, we then had to change agencies, but the paperwork was all forwarded to the referring agency. That agency then forwarded the dossier to, I was told in an email the "Consulate in Washington D.C.), but now important docs are missing. We signed a POA in Sept. when we received the referral and they are just now getting these docs sent out. I can't get any straight forward information from either of the two agencies. I don' know if they have a policy that inhibits travel before DNA- they always said "we don't suggest it". I have a bad "gut feeling" about this already, but I don't know what to do or who I can get to help. This is all foreign territory to me. If you have any suggestions- they are welcomed. Thank you.
