I am soooo unbelievably frustrated I could scream!

DH and I have completed all classes and such as requested by our adoption agency. Then were told my fingerprints cleared through the Child Abuse Index, However the DOJ in CA lost my fingerprints. AAAARRGGHH so I went and was fingerprinted for the seventh time in the last two years! It's all good!
So they get submitted again and were off again to hear about our four girls... We meet with their SW and she loved us. However the situation with the girls' ** and BF looks like reunification may happen... Ouch for the girls!

SOOOO DH and I ask SW if they could show us any other paperchildren. Well our SW calls yesterday morning with an emergency placement of a little boy and girl who are free for adoption and a perfect fit for our family, we tell our children that they may have a little brother and sister coming possibly today. We fly into high gear to finish preparing for our family to grow.
Well SW said to call the office if we did not hear back by the afternoon. Well I called and GUESS What.... NO FINGERPRINTS... DOJ once again is stalling the WHOLE PROCESS!

SO here we sist with at least a 30 day delay!

AARRGGHHH

DH and I are better today but feel totally deflated!

We did receive a call from the Administrator apologizing for the confusion and the phone call yesterday..

I thank her and pray heartilly for peace... Peace I do receive and patience will come in time...

Please pray for the Dept. of Justice in clearing my fingerprints.

Has anyone else had a mess like this with the DOJ?

They are saying the delay is because I was married before and that they have to check all the alias'. I'm grateful for them to be so thourough, I was a dopted into an abusive home so hopefully their thouroughness prevents that garbage from happening to other children.
I really do understand ......
I'm just really really disappointed and bummmed!

Thanks for letting me vent........

Hi Faith,
So does this delay mean that you won't have any chance with the little boy and girl? I know that they were an emergency placement so had to go to another family for now, but will you still get the chance to adopt them once your fingerprints are cleared?

I'm praying for you! red tape ACK!

Please keep us posted and vent anytime we're here to listen!

Part of me wants to tell you that maybe the Lord didn't allow the children to be placed in your home because He knew it wasn't as good of a fit as it lookes. True or not maybe you could find comfort in this. The other part of me in angry right along side of you. I too had a problem with my prints. My prints appearently aren't clear and they had to take them several times holding up our child search months out. I hear your frustration and am so sorry.

In the following days from the emergency placement and waiting fingerprint fiasco, My heart has caught up to my head. I believe this is all good and Gods' plan is trully perfect.

I do not know if the boy and girl will still be available for adoption however I do know that He has children for us.

Today being Mothers' Day and all was wonderful. My little boy Daniel made me a card in Sunday school that warmed my heart and made me cry it said "what is the one thing you want for your Mom on Mothers' Day? He said for me to get my fingerprints back... He is six and soo compassionate.

I love my children and cannot wait to have more.

Thank you all for your warmth and prayers. I WILL have good news soon.

Much Love

We went through 1 roadblock after another. They lost my hubby's prints too. Our little girls dad had passed away and mom had already relinquished. What they said would take 3 months took a year. IT was all very frustrating.

Keeping looking up And keeping the Faith

I'm beginning to see that mine was not the only one. I know when God decides the time is right my prints will appear and clear!
God has a perfect plan for all of our lives. A righteous mans footsteps are ordained before the beginning of time. We all have to wait upon the Lord and his timing.

Judi did you adopt? Was it worth the wait and the whole ordeal?

I have two beautiful children that want other brothers and sisters, well I'd love to be pregnant however God does have other plans.... I know we have children waiting to join our family....

I love the Lord and all his plans are perfect and good! All of them!

Much Love in Christ
